Sheep, You Give Us Joy
Sheep, you give us joy!
As you share your wool and flesh,
we are warm and full.
We are warm and full—
no winter winds can slay us,
clad and fed by you.
Clad and fed by you,
who needs any other wealth?
Sheep, you give us joy!

I like this piece very much. It strikes a chord regarding sometimes unappreciated abundance.
There is a goddess in the Egyptian pantheon called Satis. . . a goddess of abundance and satisfaction, “enough.” This is an homage to her.
Very well done!
A beautiful dedication to sheep…:) But feel sad for those poor animals….coz, they are killed
A burning candle
I love a poem celebrating Sheep ! Made me smile a wooly smile. ;0)
Happy Thursday !
I love how you weave words! This haiku set I love. My son says he loved it too!
A smiley post if ever there was one! Honoring an animal who gives so much.
