Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Aging Adam

Adam, the first man made by God,

Was made to be a perfect man.

But Adam turned out to be flawed,

And was condemned to a life span

Forced from Eden in time and place,

And confronted with pain and strife.

Adam grew old without God's grace,

Until he came to end of life,

Nine hundred thirty years to live.

Eve and son Seth there when he died.

God sent an angel to forgive,

And bring Adam's soul to God's side.

Adam's body to earth a must,

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
