STORY OF THE LITTLE GRAPE STEM (English Poetry)

Story  Of  The  Little  Grape  Stem Once  upon  a time   there  was a little  graps stem.. This  stem  was so glad to be  alive... She  drank water  and  minerals  from  the soil and grew. She  was  young  and  strong  and  could  manage  quite  well... All  by  Herself.   But  then, the wind  was  cruel , the rain was harsh, the  snow  was not  one  bit understanding, and  the  little  grape  stem  suffered... She  drooped  weak and  frail.   It  would be  so easy  to stop trying to grow, to stop  trying  to live. And  the  grape  stem  felt  poor'   The  winter  was  long and the stem was weary, But  then  the  little  grape  stem heard a voice.     It  was  another  grape  stem  calling out to her... "Here, reach out... hang on to me. " But  the stem, hesitated, "What  would this mean ? she thought for you see  the little stem had always managed, quite  well .... All by herself.   But then , ever so cautiously  she reached out, towards the other grape stem.     "See , I can help you" , it said. "Just  wind  your tendrils about me and I will help, you lift your head".     And  the little stem trusted... and suddenly she could stand  straight  again.   The  wind came... and the rain... and snow, But  when it came  the little grape stem was clinging to many other stems.     Although  the stems  were swayed by the wind... and frozen by the snow , they stood strongly united  with each other.     And in their united strenght... they could smile and grow.   Then , one day the little stem looked down and saw a tiny stem  swaying and frightened, And our  little grape stem said, Here hang on... I will help you"  And the other stem  reached up to our grape stem... And together  all the stems grew... Leaves budded... flowers bloomed... And finally grapes formed... and  the grapes fed many. I  hope this story encourages your heart to always  lend a helping hand when you see someone  struggling in an area which you, have  already  been victorious over.     Hebrews 10:23-25  Says: "Without  wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for  God can be trusted to keep His promise.   Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds. And  let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of His coming back again is drawing near".
