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.
