THE SHEEPDOG'S PRAYER

I am a tired old Sheepdog,
The guardian of my flock.
I keep the predators at bay
And stand watch around the clock.

Please stop the sheep from pulling my teeth.
I will need them for the fight.
When the hungry wolves come hunting
Some dark and deadly night.

I pray I'll never need my gun,
But someday if I do,
May my cause be just
My draw be quick
And my aim be ever true!

Heaven holds a special place
For those who do the deed...
Protectors of the innocent
In their hour of need.

I am proud to be a Sheepdog
I've done my very best.
I'll keep on working till my maker
Calls me home to rest.

Amen


This prayer is dedicated in grateful recognition of the Sheepdogs that make our world a safer place to live. To all the law enforcement / military personnel and armed citizens-

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
