The Call of David

Slender youth but strong,
Red hair swaying with his shepherds
songs. Red curls dancing to his
newest Psalm.

Sandals worn but strong
Leading sheep from Jesses care
Jesses thoughts are far from him.

Winter and summer long,
staff in hand and lyre near,
teaching sheep how not to fear
Showing sheep dead lions beard;
the smell of myrrh was hanging near.

For, Samuel had come,
Calling all the brothers near
finding not the promise there:

David then was called
Leaving the bears carcass there,
Like a lamb he drew near

The Oil on him was poured,
Old Prophets eyes were shining clear
Saying “men are not as they appear”.
