In the beginning the world was great, the creation was good, <br />But something was missing in Adam's neighborhood. <br />The heavenly sky was a perfect blue, the air pure and sweet, <br />What else could man wish what more could he need? <br /> <br />Each of God’s creatures had its mate, a true partner for life, <br />A companion for support through sorrow or strife. <br />But sadly, it was yet not so for Adam, for alone he is seen, <br />Sadder by each lonely moment, like a horrible dream! <br /> <br />We read that God said; 'it is not good that man is alone', <br />So, He set about to bring happiness to Adam’s home. <br />God gently took Adam aside and put him in a deep sleep, <br />Surgically He removed a rib to make a helpmeet. <br /> <br />God presented His gift to Adam, his wife she would be, <br />From that day forward and for all eternity. <br />She was superb in her beauty! A graceful joy and delight! <br />She is called Woman to stand by Adam’s side. <br /> <br />Adam’s loneliness is defeated with God's great surprise, <br />His gift of woman who shall become his wife. <br />Now, the sky is much bluer! The trees are a deeper green! <br />Songbirds sing sweeter, the earth in beauty gleams! <br /> <br />God creation is now perfect, the final touch of His hand, <br />His masterpiece is completed by creating Woman. <br />An awesome thing happened, as God always knew it would, <br />For through “Eve”, He turned 'not good' into 'Good'.<br /><br />Loyd C.
