IN GOD WE TRUST

All my life,
I searched the rainbow,
And beyond,
For the shepherd,
And his sheep.

I have found,
That humans,
Are as vulnerable,
As the sheep.
And the sheep,
As weak as,
You and me.

This is why,
The shepherd,
Closes his eyes,
But never sleeps.

And the flock,
With their heads,
Lowered into the grass,
Are so grateful,
They follow him,
From field to field.
Or each other,
Over the cliff,
If that’s the way,
The shepherd guides,
Them from the fields,
To the rainbows,
And beyond.
