Beloved Shepherd,
In my life
I have strayed
From the flock.
Further than some,
Yet, not as far
As others.

As I grow older
I find myself
Creeping,
Closer and closer
To be within
Your heavenly sight.
To feel the warmth
Of your blessed love,
To sense the security
Of your protection.
To drink, gratefully
From the waters
You have stilled,
Unafraid
And in glory.

Gentle breezes,
Wafting through my consciousness.
A pleasant awakening,
Reminding me of the contentment's
Of my life. ©spirit

You draw a vivid picture of this small sheep, apart from the flock but trying to grow closer. Nice!!

This is the Good Shepherd who leaves His flock to look for one lost wayward sheep..bah,bah, makes me wish to be lost once in a while, just to find joy in being sought and found in His arms.

Of course your poem reminded me of the 23rd Psalm and offered to me much comfort. (Thank you) In addition to what I've read in the Psalm though, I like the word "glory" that you use in your poem.... It speaks to me of everlasting. It says to me that we will still be drinking of the waters when we get to the other side. (Amen) I look forward to that. GOD bless you my freind and thank you for sharing again with us.
