“Every shepherd
Must feel the same” –
Thus Abel,
Watching the firstling of the flock,
As instinct, trial and error,
Guided to its mother’s udder.
Thus Rachel
As she saw the lamb
Suck the teat’s rich colostrum.
Thus Moses
As he felt the tight belly
Of a minutes-old satiated lamb.
Thus David,
As he heard the ewe murmuring
Her psalm of contentment.
Thus the Good Shepherd
As the man once blind asked avidly,
“Who is He, Lord,
That I may believe on Him?”
