Fruit of the Vine

I am yours and you are mine,
grown together on the vine
of life and love and days well spent,
formed and fed by blessings sent:

Sun and rain in heaven’s measure,
elements of pain and pleasure,
rising up and reaching down,
seeking sky and breaking ground.

Give and take, bitter and sweet,
nature paints a work complete.
Opposition yields the force…
turns our leaves toward the Source.

Holding fast to God’s own vine,
I am yours and you are mine.
