Shepherds Poems - Poems about Shepherds

The treasurer they called Judas, In his folly and imprudence, Sold his Master for silver’s stock; The shepherd who betrayed the flock. The fisherman they called Peter, Tasked to build the Church and lead her, To be her foundational rock; The shepherd who cares for the flock. The scholar widely known as Saul Adopted the new name of Paul; He saw the light on one...

Gambolling along as ewe do, happy and carefree. Ewe’d do it all over again, in the greening esprit. Gambolling in full wool, unaware of morrow’s snip. Ewe see only what is in fashion, not the future clip. Gambolling with the Shepherd’s crook, behaving baa-dly. Ewe do you, follow the sheepish crowd gladly. Gambolling off a cliff, unless the one snatched from...

Humanity still struggles to comprehend That all life on earth is for us to tend We must cease our pillaging of this great land Instead, care for all life as it was planned We are the shepherds of the plane Our destructive behaviour is beyond insane There’s a reason we are the most evolved Ain’t a problem for us that can’t...

Loss of faith as time goes by Heard the call of God on high Now the truth is chrystal clear Lies as passed from year to year Promises of streets of gold Mansions there are bought and sold Prophets prey on your desire Trust their word or pits of fire Purchase your future casket Drop your coins in the basket Selling myths to earn their...

I don't have a dog Doesn't mean I don't like a dog A friend has two And from the way he walks them through The Alsatians strut along the street Black and tan, they look so sweet The German breeds are more than pets They saunter along like a branch of cadets Beautiful souls Sure of their patrols Never nervous And prompt to calls for service The...

The battle starts everyday His itch will not go away Scratch and scratch is all he does I yell to stop from above Itching and biting evermore Skin covered in sores Itching continuously grows When it stops nobody knows As I wish it to stop Redness, allergies, and hot spots Going, going, non-stop Trying to reach the itch up top Off to the vet we go Hoping to...

There is a picture in my mind Of grazing sheep on a remote hillside The shepherd is mindful of his flock Guarding each of them with pride His watchful eye then detects One little lamb, - that strays away Unaware of intimate danger The consequence of being astray He ventures into the underbrush With a keen...

(A dramatised imagination from the Bethlehem Inn - https://vimeo.com/657939760 ) OY! ! Who is this, will not let me lie and have my rest? Must I rouse and don again my robe, arrange myself, and comb my beard to show myself at best. Just to tell another traveller - ‘continue on your road. No room, no...

What kind of star is it? The shepherd child asked his father. His father stared at the anomoly for a long time. Strangely, I feel it is a holy star, he told his son. We need to remember and reflect on it. Their sheep stopped bleating and began to deeply sleep. Giving them time to meditate and ponder on the...

[Line one is an old schoolboy version of the first Line of ‘While Shepherds’. I wrote the rest of verse one based upon it, but was then astounded to discover ‘my verse one’ word for word identical online. As such, I must claim this poem as a collaberation.] While shepherds washed their socks by night And hung them on the line The...

The manger was empty and bare. But that didn’t matter, because Love would come there. Joseph and Mary found it sufficient, she being full with God’s own son. Thus in that night came Love omniscient. An angel told shepherds of the birth. They journeyed in joy to the place and saw that Love had come to earth. Wise men came led by a star’s...

To certain shepherds under the sky an angel of the Lord spoke from on high “Do not be afraid. In a manger displayed is the babe that God is to magnify.” “To Bethlehem we must go and view this babe with Mary and Joseph too.” So the...
