For you I came into this world, you mean so much to me,

To save you from your sinfulness is why I came to be,

A love so great for you my child, they nailed me to a tree,

Fear not that you once were lost; the Lord has set you free,

You always do the little things that no one else can see,

For a stranger or a friend when you see a special need,

When things become difficult you find the time to pray,

With faith that I am with you, to guide you on your way,

Let your heart not be troubled when temptation comes to you,

You have been given the grace that will see you through,

Out in the rough waters where the storms of life will be,

When their fury cast you around, keep your faith in me,

Share your love with your brother; extend peace to a friend,

Let them know of this love and a peace that will never end,

Placed in your heart is the wisdom, knowing the words to say,

Speak them to those who hunger, thirst, and have lost their way,

Remember when you do this, your doing it for me,

A love so great for you my child; they nailed me to a tree.

Eve and Adam Appletree were the perfect couple,
It has been said, they were a match made in heaven.
They had it all; stunning beauty, inside and out,
Not a care in the world, perfect in every way.
They were in total control of their environment,
The world was theirs without the asking.
No rules, regulations, or governing powers,
Gardens of plenty, trees abundant with fruits and flowers.
No need for designer suits or custom made dresses,
A big house, fine car, or any other of lives excesses.
Life in Paradise just as wonderful as it could be,
Everything was theirs except the center apple tree.
The voice of the serpent would now plant a seed,
In the garden to Eve who was without a need.
If you really seek the wisdom power to know-it-all,
Then eat of the apple, surely you will not fall.
She reached up, grabbed an apple and took a bite,
Immediately she was filled with sadness not delight.
So too her husband who had also bitten of the fruit,
Became ashamed, overwhelmed, and destitute.
So goes the story of Eve and Adam Appletree,
A story so familiar today; just take a look and see.
When we move from the center of the grace of life,
We move away from God and The Tree of Life,
He is the Master who loves, and sustains us all,
Compassionate and merciful even after the fall.
When we here the alluring sound of a cunning voice,
Know from where it comes and make the right choice.
The center of our existence is the Master, who holds the key,
As it was in the beginning, for Eve, Adam, and the apple tree.
