Adam And His Treasure
Created to perfection from a simple lump of clay
This master-piece called Adam on the sixth creation day
Designed just like his Maker in His own similitude
With wonder and emotion in his grateful attitude
As he was to be master of this world and all therein
By love to name all creatures in this world that had no sin
That lived in perfect harmony that flowed through every kind
As each loved their Creator and the man who had His mind
To hold each with compassion from the turtle to the whale
From lizards to the eagles to the kiwi with no tale
To slimy little earthworms to the lion in the field
From antelopes to elephants and those great trunks they wield
But in all of creation as he looked upon the land
Enthralled with all the beauty that His Maker made and planned
He found one thing was missing that all other creatures had
A similar companion that made each complete and glad
To share the endless bounties of this new earth God had made
That had no need or reason to be fearful or afraid
Just endless days of pleasure living in God's paradise
Prepared for them to multiply as He had been precise
About His plan in Eden for the whole world He'd just made
Where love gave full expression without need to be afraid
As all males had their females and all females had their males
To multiply in number with the pleasure love entails
But Adam had no female no companion of his kind
To share the joys and wonders God had hid for him to find
So God did gently place him in a deep and dreamless sleep
To give to him a Treasure he would always want to keep
A Treasure with such beauty no words ever could describe
To make with him a kingdom here on earth not just a tribe
That would be sole reflective of the Kingdom they could see
If they remained the faithful never tempted by the tree
And should they chance to stumble God's desire would not change
To make them one forever though His blood He would exchange
To bring them restoration to the oneness they once knew
When He would recreate them once again with all things new
