O DEAR SHEPHERD!

O DEAR SHEPHERD!

The little lamb feels forelorn,
Neglected by the shepherd,
Who keeps all her plias
Deliberately unheard.

He thought only but yesterday
Her to be 'the most dear',
How he used to cuddle her,
And call her his 'only cheer'!

Oh, dear shepherd, why do you think
That your lamb has gone astray?
No,no, she has just fallen inlove,
And now is under love's sway.

Do not think that she has gone
In search of a greener pasture,
Oh, she has only taken
The natural course of nature.

Don't you see that  your little lamb
Has now attained her youth,
And she has found her soulmate,
Please realise this simple truth.

You are still her star number one,
And she is still your 'dove',
For her there can be no substitute
For your fatherly love.

    I really loved how in a humorous almost cute way you addressed a very warm, serious situation in life, very good.

    1. yes, dear Jim! Sir,though my dad can't express his love for me through actions like my mom and though he is very reticent with his words, I know how much he loves me and so, sometimes I feel so guilty!
