I am a sheep, who loses his way
Gets mislead, lead astray
In my life’s journey
Fell out of the company
Fellow believers, members of the flock
I was carried back, lovingly
Brought back, on the strong,
The broad shoulders
Of the shepherd,
Returned to the green pastures
The safety of the fold
A wayward member,
Lost for a time
But home once more
Heeding, as best I can
The instructions of the shepherd
The wisdom of the spirit
Cleaving to the love
Of the creator
