He stands on the hills of heaven, <br />looking out over us all. <br />Keeping an eye on all his flock, <br />day and night. <br />A shepherd or sentinel, <br />call him what you like. <br />He stands there to guard us, <br />and send evil a flight. <br />He has many names, <br />you can call him <br />what you will, <br />but we will all greet him <br />in the future sometime. <br /> <br /> <br />(20 June 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shepherd-or-sentinel/
