SHEEP, by                    
First Line: Think of the child who owns a sheep
Last Line: Who sacrificed his life in vain!
Subject(s): God; Sheep; War


Think of the child who owns a sheep
Which he may love but may not keep,
A friend that from his side is torn,
Which he must see to market borne!

Think of the one who bears strong sons
Only to give to feed to guns,
Or give to murder other men
They see but once and never again!

Think of the Lamb of God once slain
Who sacrificed his life in vain!
