the lamb & the shepherd

one morning, while awaking,
a little lamb saw a shepherd,
and heard His gentle call.

still in dream, but slowly blinking,
the little lamb felt loved;
loved and somewhat complete.

the shepherd found the lamb,
and took His little one back home,
singing softly of Heaven.

the little lamb asked:
"How do I love You,
He, who is all true?"

the shepherd replied:
"As you would
the world around you."

the little lamb asked:
"Have I found You,
my savior?"

He held the little lamb
close to Him, and responded:
"You have. Be at peace."
