They are the fruits
the children of our faith
the grapes of the vine,
being nurtured, cared for
pruned, watered, the sunshine
the connection to the vine
the interwoven, living vine
the roots, the stem, the branches
all working for the growth
the harvest of the fruits
the grapes of the vine
living together, abiding
in the arms of the living vine
