The Vineyard

[tonyg]

My children, inherit the land
Be fruitful and multiply
I’ve prepared this place for you
Be nourished from the Vine

Weed out the things that hinder you
My children let your love flow
Endure and you will thrive in my glory
Share in the goodness that you sow

Whatever is true will be given to you
For the just shall inherit the land
Draw from me your every need
To those in need extend a hand

Though this world may crush you
Their lips will put you to the test
Branches will stand the test of time
Drawing its life from the Vine

My children, inherit the land
Share in the goodness that you sow
This world will put you to the test
Absorb the light that you may grow

Be fruitful and multiply
My children, inherit the land
Absorb the light that you may grow
The vineyard is in God’s hands

Greetings TonyG,

Without Jesus we can and be nothing. Only in Him can we hope to survive. How beautiful this is, it reminded me of that Scripture.

So do you just come up with this off the top of your head or just sit down and focus and take time to write these things? Either way, they are a blessing.

May God bless you and increase your talent to the Glory of His Name and of His Church.

God Bless.

Interesting is the first verse , be fruitful . The my people , would not of meant gentile`s .

To be fruitful would entail self control , with logic in hindsight and the text of subdue all that is around you not incorporated in the verses , i would think that there could of come a time where being fruitful would of obligated those that received the bible script to of been more careful in those pursuits contained inside the house`s .

Inevitable yes the variations of perception now days , there is always room for improvement .

It is common for us to exchange want for need / truth

Just a little is enough for many

Greetings to those reading and or posting in this thread,

I found this stanza most encouraging.

Though this world may crush you
Their lips will put you to the test
Branches will stand the test of time
Drawing its life from the Vine

I have heard it said that martrydom is the highest gift of grace. Let us pray for those who are being persecuted this day and every day for their faith.

God Bless.

I really appreciate your kind words. Many of the reflections I write come from the Gospel readings each week at Sunday Mass. Or sometimes it may be something I hear someone say, or just something I see that inspires a thought. That’s the beauty of poetry, you never know when the next inspiration will come from. I do my best to keep it simple, that is easy for me because I am a simple man. God Bless, Anthony

Greetings Anthony,

That is pretty amazing. Simplicity is so beautiful many times. Somehow by simple words, the poem touches one more so than had it wonderful complex sounding words. Simplicity strikes at the core of us and that is something that we can all relate to.

Keep writing.

God bless you.
