What Eve Sang

    My pastor might be a little disappointed that, as he began his message on spiritual gifts, this was what I was thinking about. I had never had this thought before. I'm sure after she was a mom Eve sang lullabies, but what did she sing before that? Because I cannot imagine sitting in the splendor of Eden and not singing. This turned out a little more rhymed than I intended, but I have no idea how to fix it, so I will post it anyway. Sometimes, that is how poetry works . . . and my knitting.

 

What Eve Sang

 

What did you sing in the garden, 

mother of us all, Eve in Eden?

For who could not sing in paradise,

in a world that had just begun?

FOR

 

As the morning stars sang at creation,

and the birds sang on their first day,

what did you sing in the garden

before sin took perfection away?

GOD

What did you sing as you waited

for your evening walk with the Lord, 

where you met in the cool of the garden,

heard the love in the voice of God?

SO

 

What was it like to talk with God

             in Eden, Earth's most special place?               

The song my heart sings is of longing

to speak, as you did, face to face. 

LOVED

 

Though I cannot imagine perfection

or a world without dying and sin,

may I sing with you in the garden

that the Earth will become again? 

ME
