Poem
I know sometimes your way seems dark and dreary I know sometimes your body may feel worn and weary. And yet you press on, you keep spreading God’s word You refuse to rest until his voice has been heard. A leader, a guide, a shepherd steeped in love Whose greatest desire is to live eternally above You teach about Heaven, you illuminate the way, You live as an example of God’s love each and every day. You are a bridge to the Lord during troubles and trials And you depend on Jesus to help shorten the miles. You preach about Jesus who is the ultimate answer Whether the problem is financial, emotional, or terminal cancer. You are a good Shepherd who loves tending his sheep Though some are scared, some worn, some battered, and some weak. But each of them know that you are available twenty-four seven, To comfort them, to cry with them, to reach out toward Heaven When a sheep starts to wonder away from the flock, You gently prod him and lead him right back to the rock. You’ve sought The Lord's guidance and carried your cross, You’ve done His will and prayed no soul would be lost. And as your reward for the work that you've done, When your sheep are well fed and the good race you’ve run When this life is over and each battle has been won The Good Lord will say, come on home, JOB WELL DONE!
