Fruit Bearing Fraternity

Communing for The ‘Giving Thanks, to God/Jesus’ on Our Christian Day of “Thanksgiving.”

Fruit Bearing Fraternity
By Arley Steinhour 112317

Look in the mirror, what do you see,
Perhaps, yourself, looking back at thee,
But, not in sight, is God, who made you,
Deeper than Vision, who looks at the Shoe?

That which you see, imagine to be a Tree,
Protruding from the invisible, the Root,
Even, Greater than all you can ever be,
The Root, gives Life, as Tree gives Fruit.

See on that Tree, the ‘Number of Branches,’
Some be Productive, some Not; thus a Problem,
Mankind, as ‘Branches,’ Produces, or Blanches,
The Fruit necessary, Lest, or Pruned, as ‘Sodom.’

The Root of the Tree, goes Deep and Wide,
To Offer the Sustenance, for ‘Good Fruit to Yield,’
But, when Sustenance is used for ‘Selfish Pride,’
Not for the Fruit, the Branch’s Fate may be Sealed.

To Wither, and Die, fit only for the ‘Hearth Flame,’
That, Cooks, the Production, of the Good Branch,
That feeds the All, to the ‘Root’s Great Name,’
That, Good Fruit brings Forth, ‘Blessings Avalanche.’

The ‘Root,’ can only be God, for ‘Similitude,’
Unseen, but Working, to ‘Shape our Eternity,’
The Main Tree, be ‘Emanuel/Jesus, in Servitude,’
Developing Believers, into ‘Fruit Bearing Fraternity.’

May We, the Fruit-Branch, ‘Yield a Bumper Crop,’
As we Celebrate, the Holiday we call Thanksgiving,
As, God/Jesus Persuades us, that we never Stop,
Praising, Worshiping, and ‘Producing in our Giving.’

(Happy Thanksgiving) Hallelujah, AMEN
