His New Sheep

This sheep was new...
And quite set in his ways.
The shepherd knew
And tied him for days.

For good or bad
This creature of habit
Had to choose and
The stake was loosed from him

That night, the sheep came
In from the pasture, green
Each was called for by name
But the new sheep was not seen

The shepherd found him
And told him he was free.
The tether was rid, then
This for the sheep to see

The shepherd rejoiced
That the new sheep stayed
And heeded his voice
He called, the sheep obeyed!
