Lost Sheep
"Are you lost?" asked the sheep
in the front
(not the one who'd gone to sleep).
I'd gone to get some air and walk...
a strange question -
to hear this stray creature talk!
"I'm a man and know quite a lot
(if I say so).
I've learned things that you cannot.
I know about countries and beliefs,
and also,
borderlines, property, and thieves."
The sheep just smiled

Lost Sheep
It’s a world of contradiction
And the truth is hard to see.
Yes, the path is full of dangers
Leading where I would not be.
I’ve been wrong in my decisions
When my thoughts were not of you.
And my footsteps only falter
And I fail in all I do…
And I fail in all I do…
I’m no good at contemplation.
Meditation’s not my

Lost Sheep
A look, a smile, a gesture
Memories, soft reflections
From the heart who knows
This is special…
This look – it is filled with kindness,
This smile – it quiets the worst anxiety,
This gesture – brings hope to the impossible…
Soothing the spirit, bringing joy to the senses,
Revealing light that removes each shadow,
With a feeling of peace that overflows with

The Lost Sheep
Oh, Lord, you left the flock,
as others wept in shock-
to seek the stray you lost;
take home at any cost-
that one misguided sheep
which from your arms did leap.
How deep- your love for all
to save just one, from Fall.

Saving the Lost Sheep
the lost baby was facing sleet in the middle of the blizzard
his poor mother must be frantic!
everyone begged her to stay inside,
but Diana could not rest until the lost sheep was saved
in the middle of the blizzard
this baby must be cold and miserable
bleating for his mama
she had to fish him out of the ditch
and

Parable 2: Lost Sheep
The Good Shepherd lost one of his sheep
and searched over the mountain so steep.
Then when it was found,
with friends gathered round,
they rejoiced with that sheep he could keep.
For one who went sinfully astray
the Good Shepherd went out of his way,
with gift of free grace

Lost Sheep
Silent and quite is each day
For I no longer have anything to say
My lips have been sealed
For I have no ones ears to hear
There are words I want to say
But when I go out I do not speak
I have no more words left in me
No one hears what I say
I feel like I am a

Lost Sheep Now Found Following God Light
Oh, Lord
O' God
I'm your sheep and I'm lost

You shine

Mary Lost Sheep - a Little Laughter
Brave Texas woman rides horse after Mary’s white sheep.
Sheep taken while girls watch hanky-panky movie.
Cross River finds green field empty.
Minny Mouse gives dozen sheep water.
Horse yield tired, needs break.
Rogue tiger hears lunch bells, mouth water.
Lambs chops fried, makes great table plate.
Black wolfs lofty large sharp teeth scare tiger.
Tiger cries, belly hurts, maybe wolfs

The Lost Sheep
I was a lost sheep
I hope my shepherd will find me
Walking with a relentless weep
Dressed in blue, hoping He'll see me
I am a wandering sheep
Traveled into innumerable hills
With wound that so deep
That doctors cannot heal
I am a worried sheep
Though studied carefully to learned
Between heaven and earth I stepped
Looking for brilliance to enlighten my lantern
I am

Lost Sheep
Red's and orange green yellow and gold.
The colours of the Fall
unfold.
So many spring stories
Untold...
And I am
here
on a concrete steep...
trying to help some
young lost sheep.
" The complexities of the modern world,
astound me man. "
it was 10-10-10
just the other day.
I will not look the other way.
I will help that one
that went astray
so Help me God

Lost Sheep
I can’t smile
When my heart is sorrowful
I can’t help
When my mind is vague
I can’t dream
When my life is vissionless
Oh! my creator
When will my heart be happy?
Oh! my God
When will my mind be hopefully filled?
Oh! my diviner
When will my life be alive?
May be,
When my lost sheep is returned to me
Safely and alive
Then I smile
And my
