The Tree

(The tree) It all started with a tree Or so everybody was told! The fruit was delicious... Think! I was the first to be tempted Couldn't resist And ate until full, Well I was hungry...what else could I do! Enjoyed it...so much Decided to give... to my hubby! We made the most of It, Stripping the tree bare Filling our bags to the brim, Taking home for the family, Made a lovely pie, Shared it with friends at church, They loved It, Wasn't entiley honest, They started acting strange, Taking all their books Stacking and piling high, Their eyes had been opened Knowledge flowing from their mouths Secrets from the beginning of time, We understand now, Why hadn't we seen it before, Life is so simple, All we needed was love.
