Poem
In his family being last A teenager was considered outcast But he spent time in fields so vast Thoughts of his Creator left him aghast All his siblings were employed While he to shepherding was deployed He yearned to see military operation Yet got reproved on any expedition On an auspicious day Their house looked very gay “Papa, can I see our guest today?” He pleaded with dismay. “Just this day alone leave me free I’ll talk to the visitor with some glee” “Attend to work you inquisitive brat Who’ll take care of sheep-those unruly gnats?” Kicked by his father he did weep Slowly spoke to his mother about the sheep “Mama, allow me to join the feast today Please speak to papa about my stay” His mom turned a deaf ear to his plea “To the meadows you please flee I ought to do a lot of work over here Besides cleaning dishes piled up there.” Fresh wheat bread from flour so fine Tasty juice from the fruit of vine Minced mutton roast, with delicious meat Aroma arouse beckoning everyone to eat He looked after his sheep yet thought Perhaps something the guest had brought All his agonies he sent upward Anticipated help from heavenward Expected guest visited his house An important question he did arouse He never sat to eat over there But questioned, “Is everyone here?” To control a rebellious lot That rejected God and sought A man over them to rule To appear on a horsse or mule Almighty’s thoughts you never can have It’s ‘Always the best’ in your heart engrave By outward appearance never framed Nor by man can they be rephrased His elders brothers although mighty Were turned down by the Almighty Unlike man, everyday God looks at you Therefore, enrich your faith with this clue Prophet proclaimed: “Send word for the youngest one Until he comes I cannot taste any beef or bun” Rejected son was remembered by God Almighty lifts those despised from sod Thus David, a shepherd crowned as king Always loved to play harp and sing In God’s presenced he did bring Praises of the everlasting king All through life’s up and downs They hailed him king in all the towns In God’s presence he found harmony About him this was God’s testimony Diligently sought and never in part. ‘A man after My own heart’
