The Shepherd (a poem based on Psalm 23)

THE SHEPHERD

This Shepherd
He is mine
My Hero
My Everyday God.

I need a Provider
  a Protector,
  a Guide...
He is.

He restores,
refreshes,
reassures,
rescues
  me.

He sees my suffering,
  loss,
  disappointment,
  despair
And He Is There.

He chose me to be...
  His treasured friend,
  His honored guest.

He bestows on me
  dignity,
  value,
  abundance,
  grace.

He pursues me with
  goodness and
  mercy.

Now and forever...
This Shepherd is Mine

-- Sheila Elizabeth Rynbrandt
