Adam

Joe asked, “Why was Adam lonely?
He had all the animals!”

Was he lonely?
“Lonely” doesn’t show up in the Bible.

When we read the pertinent part
Of Genesis two, God says,
“It is not good that man should be alone,”
And then has all the beasts go to Adam
For naming. And
“For Adam there was not found a help
Meet for him.”

So then God makes Eve and the story goes on.

But as I read it, God sees the need,
Orchestrates events so Adam sees the need,
And then satisfies the need.

God is there, first, last, and middle.

So was Adam lonely? Who knows?
Who cares?

God saw something that was not good,
And he made it very good.
