It's been said it was in Eden, and that it was love at first sight
But I knew that when I saw you that the story wasn't right
I didn't bite the apple and I didn't part the sea
But when I saw you I gave up a part of me
You brought me to my knees and made me understand
And when the world was flooding you pulled me onto land
I stood at your mercy and you stood so righteously
You taught me to be humble as you pulled an apple from the tree
I never understood it as I was hungry too
But as you bite the skin my sins were all on you
The sun came up again and the sea it parted ways
And two by two they left the ark in the longest seven days
You inspired my existence and then left me with the core
My sins were all forgiven but I had nothing to live for
The world was under heel and we stood high above
You sacrificed yourself for me but sacrificed our love
Its been said it was in Eden, and that it was love at first sight
But I knew that when I saw you that the story wasn't right....

You have an excellent talent for writing. I encourage you to continue. I especially liked the courtesy seat article.
I am a life long avid reader , has to be a true story (no fiction) educational , biographies of neat and successful people etc.
I do not care for poetry , never have , not sure why , it is like I almost "hate" any type of poetry , probably a hang over from being forced to read it in school way back then. Or maybe it is a guy thing , I don't know.
Yet I ended up reading (and enjoying) 'Eden' and 'You are' today on your site.
I think this is a first for me. I still can't believe I read poetry. !!!!
Well done Amanda. Please continue. I have bookmarked your site and will check back for new articles in the future.

I came across your site looking for a different Amanda Stevens in BC. Your site was a pleasant diversion. Thank you.
