A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Across a small valley
On a bright sunny day,
A family of sheep
We’re grazing away.
Said the mom to the lambs,
“Stay close to me Dears,
Danger can find us-
Even right here!”
High on a hill,
A wolf lay in wait.
‘Til he thought of a plan,
“I’ll get them with bait!”
“I’ll cover myself with
A cloak of sheep’s wool.
I’ll sneak in among them,
They won’t even know.”
So covered in wool,
His work had begun.
He grazed and he played
With them in the warm sun.
And once he determined
His web had been weaved,
He led them away
With his plan to deceive.
From out of the safety
Of mothers close eye
Away from the herd
Was the sheep led to die.
For the wolf had deceived him.
Slowly but sure.
He led him a stray,
Came in the back door.


The moral of the story
Is simple but true,
Satan wriggles right in-
He’ll deceive even you.
Know who you are,
Know what path you’ll take.
Strengthen yourself
And good choices you’ll make.
It’s not always easy
To not be deceived,
Heavenly Father pleads with us,
ALWAYS BELIEVE!
Believe that he loves you
No matter the cost.
Believe that he weeps
For every sheep lost.
Be certain each day
Wherever you are
His spirit can be there,
Its never too far.
