The Seeking Shepherd
In Luke 15:4 Jesus compares himself to a shepherd who cares for ALL of his sheep, so much that he is not satisfied to leave one lost in the woods. This limerick prayer affirms his special knowledge of each of us and his resolve to keep us safe.

I was thinking about God's promise In Isaiah 9:6-7 that he would send us a special child, and about the special child he sent in the person of my grandson this year. This sonnet is the result of those converging trains of thought.
