"The Sheep Dog"

“The Sheep Dog”

8/24/14

Hearing the Master’s command
‘go and gather all the sheep’
obedient and long-suffering
going amid the beasts wild
into the midnight blackness
searching dens of predators
beckoning softly each sheep
offering a safe way to home
tirelessly patiently enduringly
‘having first his directions*’
from his Master’s command
gathering the lost sheep
those who’ve wandered away!
