I struggled for ?comfort? or something I could not find in my heart tonight. So I opened a book and found this poem.
I thought it might be nice to share.
God Bless!

For all
Who knew the shelter of the Fold,
its warmth and safety
and the Shepherd's care,
and Bolted;
choosing instead to fare
out in the cold,
the night,
revolted
by guardianship,
by Light;
endured
by the unknown;
eager to be out
and on their own;
freed
to water where they may,
feed where they can,
live as they will:
till
they are cured,
let them be cold,
ill
let them know terror;
feed
them with thistle,
weed,
and thorn;
who chose
the company of wolves,
let them taste
the companionship wolves give
to helpless strays;
but, oh! let them live-
wiser though torn!
and wherever
however far away
they roam,
follow
and
watch
and
keep
Your stupid, wayward, stubborn sheep,
and someday,
Bring them Home!
