Father

By the first three
There was light,
There was land,
And there was sea.

Then came the birds,
The fish, the plants,
The trees. The beasts
Of land and
All of these.

Then the Lord,
With greatest ease,
Created Adam
And his wife Eve.
So He could have
A race of men
To love as children
And tend His
Garden Eden.
There was no want
Of food nor drink,
No extremity
Of season,
Yet how did they
This gift repay
But with heresy
And treason?

Then God cupped His hands
So no one could see
The power of
His majesty.

Paradise lost.
Now sinner repent!
For next time we see Him,
We'll be at The End.
