One Stone

Protector of the sheep and pasture A humble believer would arise Stood up to impending disaster Amidst the Israelite's grievous sighs A musical lad who had magic fingers Soothed the tormented soul of King Saul With euphonious melody of a harp that lingers Later caused the defiant, threatening giant to fall Convinced God was the righteous master A convoluted plan was not devised Gifted skill, a servants will, sling of alabaster An unprotected slice of forehead, skillfully surprised David's hand, Goliath's sword cut his head but a sling shot of ONE STONE Was the catalyst with the lords accord and why King David graced the throne 11/4/2017

Sonnets are incredibly difficult to master; you have made a good fist of this one, Donna -- very nicely penned! My best regards. :) john
