Best Shepard Poems
Will ShepardThe day Will Shepard shot my dog
His barn burned to the soil;
The flames licked at the Autumn sky,
The smoke as black as oil.
I dropped the torch onto the earth,
And felt the whole world turn,
I stood and watched Will Shepard’s barn,
I stood and watched it burn.

That they all could not wait to see

That would never leave the mind
And make all "wish they belonged to me!"...

ShepardI stray.
My Shepard calls me back.
I try my best to come back home,
But I find my feet stuck.
I have wandered into quicksand.
I am sinking fast.
I beg and plead and call for my master.
The quicksand rises and rises.
Just as the...

Shepard of LightGive into me
cruelest fate, no sympathy
oath by blood, you swore in me
innocence is no more, ‘twas drowned by tainted sea
waves, they crash upon your feet
in truth they say thou shall be set free
one exception, only with death’s reception can you witness thee
and only by...

Broken Lamb the Absent ShepardBroken, shattered, torn little pieces,
Of my self; I continue to lose the way,
Dealing, deserving, dishing out,
A suitable punishment there is not,
A bloody trickling of tears,
Covering the body in sickness and in fear,
Stretching the length of my insides,
My shame knows no bounds, besides,
Who could fix this...

My ShepardMY SHEPARD
BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP
WHERE WILL YOU GO,
YOU'VE BEEN CAST AWAY
BY EVERYONE YOU KNOW,
YOU TRIED TO SHOW THEM
WHO YOU REALLY WERE
BUT IT WAS EASIER FOR THEM
TO LABEL YOU DISTURBED.
WHENEVER YOU SHOWED LOVE
THEY DROVE YOU FAR AWAY
YOUR HEART BECAME A WAR...

Matthew Shepard Of WyomingTwenty-one years old,
or should I say young,
with the fair coloring and
grace of a trumpeting swan.
Youth of intellect and
a goodness.

on the campus of the
University of Wyoming on
October 6, 1998,
afterwards he dropped by
the Fireside Bar for a drink.
Two malevolent men lured
him from the...

Walking side by side with the

And praising him every day.
Walking in the footsteps of our
Savior and Lord....

Oh! Lord my God, I am one of your own.

Searching for greener pastors instead ...
