The Little Shepherd Boy

Alone with the sheep with his staff and sling,
 selected fine stones to drive the enemy from attacking the flock

The least among mighty men, exalted by the most high yet belittled first as a little 
shepherd boy

watched the flock with commitment, never knew the price for that and expected 
nothing yet shepherd with all his heart , might, body and soul risking his life for a 
little lamb
the lion could have devoured him but his sheep was first, that was his primary 
concern and he dared to exhale in it despite all odds

The elite never knew, how could they have understood Gods mighty plan in a 
stead for a little shepherd boy?

Time went by, chance came his way though they just let him go, he brought down 
a giant what they couldn't brave up to,God exalted the humble, made him a king 
whose father was not

Oh, how I wish men will but learn from this little shepherd boy the act of true 
commitment and humility and know, God does not take this two for granted
