sheep may safely graze

 My motley flock of sheep
 graze safely on the mantel in our dining area.
Gathered randomly throughout the years,
they assemble here at Christmastime.

"Sheep may safely graze and pasture
Where a shepherd guards them well.
So the nation ruled in wisdom
Knows and shares the many blessings
Which both peace and plenty bring."
(Bach)

  1. Love them! Mine were all safely gathered in our nativity scene but little hands have spread them all over the house. Hopefully they'll all be back for Christmas night!

    1. My "little hands" live too far away from us. I can imagine them spreading them all over if they lived closer. Enjoy!
