Remember the story of the lost sheep
wandering far away from their home
they would not listen to anyone
they began to wander and roam
Deciding they wanted to have fun
they began breaking all the rules
trouble followed them all around
they began acting just like fools
Now this made God kind of angry
they were never out of his sight
God always knew they'd come home
Heaven's light was shining bright
Sometimes they can be lost forever
the black sheep wanders in the night
never to find his way in the darkness
he is never to see God's holy light
The sheep found their way back home
they went running to God's open arms
they were not lost nor afraid anymore
His love kept them safe from life's harms

This was written under the picture I selected. I thought I would share it. God Bless you all. 
NO name by which the Savior is known brings Him into such close and tender relations with His people as that of Shepherd. \

Why Great of Couse !

Stunning work with a great flow!
"they were never out of his sight
God always knew they'd come home
Heaven's light was shining bright"
Marvelous!

This is a beautiful expression of your faith and God's love for us all. I'll admit I've strayed more than I'm proud of...but the pull is always to turn back to Him. Thanks for sharing!

I love the whole thing it is great my favorite part is
"Deciding they wanted to have fun
they began breaking all the rules
trouble followed them all around
they began acting just like fools
Now this made God kind of angry
they were never out of his sight
God always knew they'd come home
Heaven's light was shining bright"

Where your heart is, there your treasure will be....This shows me, where your heart is, and one day your soul shall walk the streets of Gold, and your mind will be filled with happiness and the peace so many long for down here upon the earth...
I want to thank you for sharing you!
Much love, well done, love and peace!

Wow, really amazing poem and kinda funny.

Sweet
This is a sweet and youthful interpretation of this passage. If we could all learn to be as trusting and simple as sheep, our return to the Lord would be much easier.
Peace,

A bit woolly for me. I don't get all this stuff about lambs and sheep. Most shepherds employ a sheepdog to keep their animals under control. The metaphor doesn't work. But then the bible is a bit out of date, maybe they didn't have collies back in those olden days. Anyone for lamb kebab?

excellent
Very nice write beautifully written and a blessing too. Praise God -
Christ is here, and has always been by my side, no matter how often I have turned away. I love Him and I need Him...
What a great poem.
Although I must say, that right as I got into it, it stopped abruptly. Perhaps I picked up the meter wrong, ya know? Your poem shouldn't be faulted, but I felt as though I should at least tell you.
I thouroughly enjoyed it, I wish there were more of it to go around.
Sincerely,

YAY!
This is great its so nice to see poetry that is not bashing christians, or only speaking of their faults. I agree with you that shepherd is the best name for him. Bravo keep it up!

wonderful
I love religious poems and this one i really like.nice work! -
I think you did a fine job on translating this scripture find into an enjoyable read. It's always a good feeling knowing we are safe within His arms. Nice flow and great rhyming skills!~vj
-
This is wonderful and is my story too. I love my shepherd and he loves me.
-
very well done. i did enjoy...i still think that even though Shepard may be the most fitting name for Him, i do believe that sheep is the most fitting for humankind....

Nice try with this poem. I think anyone who tries to write about religion or politics takes a lot on their plate, as its not always easy to please everyone. Take care and good luck with future writings.

Very nice.
A thoroughly enjoyable write. I love praise, and I love the works about God's care for us. You have really done both in this poem. The picture was a nice enhancement to your work as well. Nice job. -
Very nice poem. Comforting to know that God is waiting for us all to come home. Keep writing !!
-
Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated. Actually I wrote the poem first. Take care, Sandy

It seems sort of... forced to me. Like you saw that picture and wanted to write a poem about it, so you just started throwing stuff together. And you said "sheep" a whole lot... which wasn't really necessary. We know you're talking about sheep, so you don't have to restate it so often.
