Unto his sheep <br />The Lord is a Loving Shepard, <br />Who doth watch over his Flock <br />With patience kind <br /> <br />But Verily, <br />Should there enter wolves among them <br />Who desire but their taste; <br /> <br />He comes to rend them <br />A Shoving Leopard <br />To send them yelping far. <br /> <br />Should then the wolves return <br />To eat but one or two, <br /> <br />Then shall that Mighty Cat <br />Spring forth to save <br />At least the little ewe-lamb <br />Who is most precious unto her grieving Father. <br /> <br />For the heart of the Good Shepard <br />Is like unto that Lowly Man. <br /> <br />Verily They would not pollute <br />Their house with an unholy sword. <br /> <br />Behold the righteous Shepard comes <br />To restore the ewe-lamb unto her Father <br />And their reunion sweet, shall be filled <br />With happy tears; <br /> <br />Looking They onward toward Eternity. <br /> <br />5-3-06<br /><br />~~~ Leaven ~~~<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/restoring-the-ewe-lamb/
