Amid the wilderness
And my own fruitlessness
I find in Christ the apple tree
Whose fruit refreshes me.
The Christian finds it fine
To gaze upon the Vine;
He see is perfectly grow up
To give wine for God's cup.
Not only that, but God
Brought life to Aaron's rod:
The almond buds, bears blooms, then fruit
From this resurgent Shoot.
The Tree of Life will bear
Fresh fruit for men to share:
Its monthly produce will suffice
To flavour paradise!
And my own fruitlessness
I find in Christ the apple tree
Whose fruit refreshes me.
The Christian finds it fine

To give wine for God's cup.

Brought life to Aaron's rod:
The almond buds, bears blooms, then fruit
From this resurgent Shoot.
The Tree of Life will bear
Fresh fruit for men to share:
Its monthly produce will suffice
To flavour paradise!
David, thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and sharing some thoughts. I enjoy writing poetry from time to time as well. May God bless your efforts to write for His glory!
