The Serpent's Secret

In the Garden of Eden
Lived Adam and Eve
Put together as perfect
By their loving creator

Many trees planted
Pleasing to the eye
And lots of fruit growing
Which was good to eat

But on one tree,
Grew forbidden fruit,
Not fit for consumption
Or death will occur

Along came evil
To upset the plans
To help break the rules
And upset nature

The fruit won’t kill
Was the serpent’s secret
The lie, of all lies
That everything would be ok

So the woman did take,
A bite of the fruit
Forbidden and wrong
But tasted so good

Naked and ashamed
Confronted by the maker
Guilty but no longer free
Life had changed forever
