The Innocence of Man

The Innocence of Man

The innocence of man was once found

In Adam and Eve until they discovered the serpent on the ground

From that point that stain called original sin

To all who are born is now given

But that sin is only revealed

When a child begins their steps to adulthood

Before then only pure innocence

For so lovely are toddlers and infants

They do not know the wrongs from the rights

Only what is taught them by their parents

They learn to love trust and fear

They learn by what they taste touch and hear

This is who we must be to enter Heaven

We must become as we were when we were children

No egos wants or desires may we bring

Only the ability to listen and enjoy an afternoon on a swing

God will only embrace those who love and obey Him

Not the supposed wise and strong in the gymnasium

But those who see the wonder of clouds and a rain shower

Or the wonderful smell of cut grass or a spring flower

Amen
