God made Adam out of the dust, but thought it best to make me first;
So I was made before the man, according to God's Holy plan.
My whole body God made complete, without arms or hands or feet.
My ways and acts did God control, but in my body He placed no soul.
A living being I became, and Adam gave to me a name.
Then from his presence I withdrew, for this man Adam I never knew.
All my Maker's laws I do obey, & from these laws I never stray.
1,000's of me go in fear, but seldom on the earth appear.
Later, for a purpose God did see, He placed a living soul in me.
But that soul of mine God had to claim, & from me took it back again.
& when this soul from me had fled, I was the same as when 1st made;
Without arms, legs, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole.
