MOTHER EVE

God looked down on earth one day,
And saw that it was fine,
But still it lacked that "something",
To make it brighter shine.

So He told His good friend Adam,
What He planned to do,
He'd make a woman right away,
And to His Word, was true.

He made the woman of a rib,
And Adam slept away,
And she became a mother,
The first up to that day.

Now Eve was first but not the last,
For all the years to come,
Mothers came from every land,
That's how mankind began.
