“…The shepherd…”



The shepherd 


Walking in the woods,

Praying, pleading,

Singing joyful thanks


The earth,

God’s canvas,

Each glimpse 

Your inspiration


Stories of green apples,

rabbits in jacket pockets,

Garlic grown, pizza throne

And always “I love you”


Strength unmatched,

Hands that serve

Sojourner for knowledge

No stone unturned


Diligence in your veins,

Bloodshed for your children, 

A microscopic view 

Of everything you do


“Walk and see 

The memories” 

Created just for us

Four turned to Eighteen

Built from your love


At a drop of a hat,

Ecouraging, lamenting, 

Holding all like your own, 

Never an outlaw, 

Always a new home


What a joy to be your “loved one”

And to see the world through poetic eyes

For what would this world be without you

But another sun and moonrise


( The Shepherd written by Rachel Arlia and Emily Ann -Happy birthday dad!!!)


“Daughters like corner pillars that decorate a palace..” 

Psalm 144:12 VOICE
