Analysis of The Good Shepherd

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



I see branches of trees
Stretching-out in the breeze.
Some are long,
Some are short,
But they all contort.
Like God stretching
Out His fingers
And comforting us.
God is here
And He loves us.
There is no derelict of love.
God shows us the way,
The truth,
And the life.
The good shepherd
Is Jesus and the
Door to eternal life.
