Best Shepherd Poems

It's raining again, grey neon skies,
washing away suppressed surfaces,
to reveal unhealed wounds,
to scars the eyes cannot see

sometimes they bleed.

Some say words heal,
but I resist to express them,
because I'm afraid of my vulnerabilities,
anxious about tears I've never cried.

You only see the smile,
no one remembers that naive...

Watery eyed thoughts came,
Zap! Pow!  a short circuited brain.
Inward turned burned ocular pain,
too many thoughts to restrain 
I’m a cheap sheep making my mistakes again.
Smell my seared wool going down the drain.
Ba, ba, blackishly wishing I was right as rain.

Words accessed by my fingertips

The shepherd's lot will never be an easy one.
From morning till night, his work will never be done.
Helped by a well-trained German dog, he keeps the flock
In good shape, so his physique must be like a rock.

Distinctive of his staff that helps him catch some...

Oh Lord, Our Heavenly Father of all creation
We rely on you in all tribulations of life
Hope you will come down to touch and heal 
Our bleeding hearts, for your mercy exceeds all bounds
You cannot turn your eyes when your children sob in agony,
You cannot but...

You who sits in Heaven regal most gracious hear our prayers

Lord and Holy Master angels sing in choir rejoicing 
in Your love we break and share bread with wine

Wheels of life overtake busy hours
racing along fast highway of time,
and jammed thoughts forget sunset’s delight
while roses, once in love, stoop... tires fizzle,
even when the hills fondle the peaks
of embossed leaves, there are no hours
for leisure on the streams, not yet.

Still, when evanescent light
envelopes all...

By serving God I serve man,
  but I cannot serve God by serving man;
  the horse is put before the cart;
  the sheep shall scatter to the wind....
  for I shall see sheep, yet not the herd ----
  one will...

Transcendent One, immutable in power,
All glorious Father, worthy of all praise!
O mighty King of heaven, every hour
You show yourself the Shepherd of my days.
My deeds, my thoughts, unworthy of rewards,
Yet as I flail, you hold me to your breast.
This lowly sheep with grace my Lord...

When I am lost and all alone,
   It’s then I turn to the Shepherd to guide me home.
When my heart gets bitter and full of doubt,
   I surrender my problems to Jesus, He seems to always work them out.
 I have...

The Wind Shepherd

The wind, 
 Like a shepherd,
Drives white caps -
 Ocean's sheep -
Onto the shore's lap
 Where they leave 
Their foamy fleece
 On the empty beach
To the delight
Of beachcomber's feet....

Beside the still waters he leadeth me
Shepherd of my wandering soul
I do not want for anything, you see,
My shepherd has made me whole.

I have walked the treacherous path
But I did not need to be afraid
The rod and staff my shepherd hath
I can lie down in...

Twas the Eve of this Christmas,
We were traveling far,
When in the dark sky
I noticed a bright shining star.

I imagined the Manger,
Where Jesus was born,
Were alerted to danger
As the road signs did warn.

The bright star we followed,
Far above in the night
In my mind’s eye saw Shepherds,
And...

The Lord is my Shepherd
wherever I walk.
He speaks gently to me
and to His flock.
He leadeth me when the waters are scarce.
He leadeth, He leadeth me home.

When I grow weary,
I rest by a tree
and go fast asleep
leaning on my Lord’s knee.
He resteth, He resteth,
He resteth by...
