"Gentle Shepherd" - 🐑 ~A Papa-Pepper Haiku~ 🐑
"Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it."
- Proverbs 22:6 -
Papa Pepper has been blessed.
From the time I first "met" @papa-pepper here on Steemit, I could see the truth of that.

I've taken great delight in observing Papa's homesteading efforts, his creative community interaction, and most important of all, the way he shepherds his beautifully growing family. Papa's little ones are truly blessed.
Papa is raising a fine flock of @little-peppers.
That's why my haiku focuses on @papa-pepper's shepherding skills...
Gentle Shepherd
Showing them the way.
Teaching vital life skills well,
Shepherding his flock.
The Flock Began With Two...

God bless you, Papa.
You and your entire family.
Keep a steady hand, and hold to that good course.

Beautiful Haiku @creatr. Papa's kids are blessed for sure to have such a loving daddy.
Thank you!
Yes, they are! :D
Nice. BTW, do you invent your tags? Never saw that one before, ha ha
it was a contest .... #celebritysteemian....click on it and you'll see all the entries.
Ah, I see :)
Yeah, but do you relate shepherds with Christianity?
What a very appropriate haiku. I am fortunate to call @papa-pepper a brother in Christ and I can also think of other Christian brothers that your haiku would apply to. Thanks for the poem!
Upvoted and re-steemed!

Thank you for the very kind words and the Re-Steem! ;)
I like it! Cool pic of the flock, bride and groom. Really cool.
Thank you!
It offers a spiritual perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect words for a pleasant papa - he shepherds well.
Thank you, Lydon... ;)
This bible verse reminds me of my childhood attending Sunday school lessons. Thanks for reminding.
I'm glad you were reminded of something very good. Thank you for reading and commenting! :D
Beautifully written Haiku. Really nice tribute to @papa-pepper. Upvoted and resteemed.
Thank you so much! :D
awesome shooting @creatr
Thanks.
You might have inspired @papa-pepper to get some sheep for his animal farm. 🐑 (petting zoo)
The more variety in his menagerie, the better! :D
