Tammy Watson- A Poem

 

                        THE GARDEN

Since time began, God had a plan

He planted a garden, for all of man.

He placed us there, so we would mature,

But He saw our thoughts, and they were not pure.

We defiled the garden, then told a lie,

So He cast us out, so the garden would not die.

He let us wander, through the earth,

To make us learn, what the garden was worth.

We toiled the ground, but peered through the fence,

So God soon came to our defense.

In His compassion, He built a new way

To get back into the garden someday.

A brand new gate, He made so wide,

In the shape of a cross, with blood on each side.

All we have to do, is accept what He’s done,

And we could enter back in, through the gate called

                                   “MY SON”

So the gate is wide open, for all who believe,

And the garden is ready, for us to receive.
