GRAPE

[verseode]

Why should someone take such care
In changing sad old me
You'd think He had enough on His plate
Without the strain I be
For it has not been easy
His work has been cut out
It's been a lot like roping a steer
Who loves to scream and shout
But maybe He is winning
I'm coming round, at last
By heeding things He tells me
My stubbornness outclassed
You have to reach a plateau
From which you can't escape
Before you finally give in
My vine has grown a grape.

[Michelle71]

Joh 12:24 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remains alone; and if it may die, it does bear much fruit;
Joh 12:25 he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;
Joh 12:26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.
Joh 12:27 'Now has my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;
Joh 12:28 Father, glorify Your name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

[Odelia]

That's a very meaningful poem, Verseode
