The Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd,
He watches o're my flock,
Our oldest in Casper,
Our third in Dexter,
Our youngest in heaven
Welcomed her dad,
Our second in National Guard
Headed for Iraq.
Their children and spouses,
Our relatives and friends,
And I ask Peace and Happiness
For the whole world.

Amen
