The Beast and the Meek-
Gently I did lie down beside the beast in
the green pasture. Silently did I lie...
trembling in fear of the unknown and
facing my greatest fear ever, we did both lie
in silence in the green pasture... Scared to
glance into the eyes of the beast, fearing
it would devour me in just one bite. Silently
we did both lie... finally I did look upon the beast; my
fears now did start to subside... As I started to remembered
my father’s promise to me. And the meek shall lie down with
the beast and it shall come to pass that he would not eat the
meek. Both the beast and the meek in perfect peace...
in my father’s pasture did we both lie... silently in green
pastures and in perfect peace, both the lion and the sheep.
