The Vineyard

The harvest is ready
The crops are ripened, ready to be gathered
A large open field
Filled with seeds once planted
Now ready to be reaped

The labour of the reaper is slow
Or have not yet even started
The grass is overgrown
Thorns and nettles cover the vineyard
The fruits, the vines, the ripened grapes

A dry field yearning for attention
Lack of tending too, lack of care
The great stone wall once built
Now broken down

Broken down by slothfulness, idleness, tiredness
A little sleep, a little slumber
Oh what a waste
Acres upon acres of waste
Of good fruits ready for harvest

Proverbs 25:30-34

  1. I like this. I see the message behind it...It makes me think of many of us Christians to day and reaping our harvest (blessings)

    and the lazy/negligent Labourers(Christians)
