The Shepherd

Look at him, how cute is he

Sitting in the field

Just eating away at the grass

With no worries at all

He is safe in his field

With all his little friends

And all the grass they can eat

As the shepherd watches over them

He has no want for water

As the river runs close by

Which refreshes his body

And calms his soul

He is not afraid of anything

Day and night he is watched over

Even if evil comes his way

There is no need for him to fear

He knows the shepherd is close by

With his rod and staff

Looking out for him

And giving him comfort

Based on Psalm 23
