 Seeds for History 

Lysle Holden

September 6, 1981

Eve was created a part of Adam 

  And into history they did grow,

Leaders of Gods great creation

  And what they learned is what we know.

They learned that sin has no virtue

  Indulgence brings tears of pain,

Evil thoughts in the mind of man

  Brings higher pressure in every vein.

The disregard for the word of God

  Will lead us down a path so sad,

We will repent, for where we went

  With Satan, with a mind half clad.

Gods laws are written on through ten

  That guides us all to peace and love,

Where we may find eternal life

  The olive branch, and little white dove.

Where the love of God

  Feels free to expand,

Like a lovely dream of great extreme

  Or aging wrinkles in a hand.

Where we will meet the ones we love

  The greatest of all God could find,

Two souls of love and kindness

  Two souls with a Christian mind.

So great their patience like the Lord

 So great their faith they will endure,

No greater love for all mankind

  No greater rememberance for evermore.

Many names live in Gods book of history

  Like the acorns grew the mighty oaks,

God has planted two acorns for history

  And named them, Clara and Luther Stokes.

Lysle Holden was a poet from Sopchoppy, Florida, a member of my fathers Evangelistic Association. This poem he wrote for my father and mother. I am searching for other poems I have that he wrote.
