by Kevin Ranville
When Adam was first made, he was like God,
both man and woman in a single life,
but God looked down and saw the life was flawed,
so He split him in two and made a wife.
Everything that's pretty, soft, and sweet,
he put into the woman that he formed.
The man alone was no longer complete,
but Adam's lonely bed was finally warmed.
And so it's been for many thousand years,
each newborn child is given half a soul,
and we must search the world in toil and tears
to find true love and be completely whole.
But when I finally meet my dear, sweet love,
then we'll be as complete as God above. | |
