First Flowers

My garden's beautiful and yet
It's not the garden Eden knew.
That I was not around then too
Quite often fills me with regret.
Will my imagination let
Me see what lovely flowers grew?
Now surely roses often drew
The eyes of angels when they met.
Were there seasons that we know>
Or was it always warm and fair?
Yet even in perfection's glow,
We're told there was a serpent there.
I feel the flowers that I grow
Are something Eve and I could share!

This is a lovely poem and I am sure Eve grew some of the same flowers we have.  Love, Joyce

Lovely poem you have written.
The bible tells us; eye has not seen, nor ears have heard what waits for us in heaven.
One day we'll get to find out exactly what beauty was in Eve's garden.
What an exciting thought!

Joyce:  I suspect you're right about the same flowers being in Eden as we see now. Maybe some of them are extinct, but someday we'll see for ourselves.

Trillium,

If Adam had come
with a rose,
I suppose Man would not have fallen.
For if that rose
had caught Eve's nose,
Satan would have no need for callin'.

Your poem inspired a little poetry there.
