Implore You

 Implore You


My struggle I had, with God, it was not.
Pour out my whole heart before Him was smart.
For my father's words sank deep in my heart.
With a desire so great that my soul fought.

With diligence follow in word and deed
I now struggle in all things, blow by blow.
Yet with patience in all, my faith will show.
Prove my reward is worth it, I'm agreed.

Remember for it has been promised
Ask, and it's given you.
Seek, and it'll find you.
Knock, it opens for you.

Enos prayed for us, a reminder
To pray for all of us to be kinder.

Greater Can I Become

Grateful to my fathers teaching.
I feel my sins are far-reaching. 
Led to my wrestle before God.
Penitent I'm hungered and flawed.

Voice of the Lord gave peace to mind.
Further prayed for all of mankind.
Further down the road their whole souls
Given to the Lord with higher goals.

A Vinery Tale

 A Vinery Tale

Hear these words with a moral from this tale.
The vineyard master allows all to grow.
Where there are parts that do but others blow.
When there's trees that can't make the lower scale. 

He sees this and now he is sorrowful.
But take the wild olive tree to nourish,
Merge branches, allow to grow and flourish.
He has us graft jointly, that's more hopeful.

Great fruit from the bounty give to the Lord.
There's still a need to nourish to flourish.
So they don't perish and still be cherished.
Yet still other trees need help, use a sword.

What more can be done in this vinery?
Never cease, work more than play is primary.

Can you see the meaning?
Hear words with moral from a tale
The tree is on the upper scale. 
The master allows it to grow.
Parts do but others start to blow.
This made the master sorrowful.
Grafting option is more hopeful.
A wild olive tree to nourish,
Allowed to grow and flourish.
With great fruit given to the Lord.
Other trees need help with a sword.
Still need to nourish to flourish.
what else is to be encouraged.
What more to be done in vinery?
Working all day is primary.
Spare the trees a little further,
Remove bad so good can nurture.
