The Shepherds Call



A Shepherd tends to his sheep
watching over them to protect
His desire is to keep them all close
To see them all gather 
from the call of His voice
He shall provide and lead them to water
so they shall not thirst
He shall lead them to green pastures
for their hunger is satisfied
The Shepherd is love and comfort
He guides and protects each day
bringing forth light to provide the way 
but yet some sheep
do not understand how grateful they should be
For they might see a few green plants
begin to bloom and wander off from the Herd
in search of trying to eat on their own
maybe a mud puddle in view as they run
to drink it before the others take notice
These sheep grow more confident in providing for themself
and wander further as each day passes
Not to take notice of the wolf
which has had them in sight
from morning through the  night
disguising itself to pull one alone
ready to pounce and devour
causing confusion to escape
The Shepherd continues to call
for the ones which have got lost
He longs to see them come out from the wild
His mercy and love  forgives them of where they have been
while making a new creation
so they shall love and teach of their escape
Many sheep shall hear His voice and know this is Him
listening carefully  to be lead back Home
To be thankful He never quit calling
and the desire to feel the Love and Comfort once felt 
To rejoice in living in His Herd

    Great piece but remember he goes out to find that one that is lost and brings them back.
