A Lost Sheep?

One sheep had left the flock some years ago! The shepherd did allow this one to go; It strayed to not a far away meadow; Nevertheless, it was a blunder, oh! What made this sheep to do this thing - none know; Was it a decision in haste or more? The shepherd knows the problem to the core; But why did he permit it through the door? Sometimes, some sheep get fed up with the grass; Perhaps, meadows nigh seem greener, alas! Some stray away for some kind of time-pass! What senses tell us at times could be false! Why did the shepherd not go after it? All shepherds love their sheep alike in flock; By succulence of grass, the sheep was hit; Why did the heart of sheep become like rock? The sheep didn't care to lose its master's fold; By disobedience, it had turned quite bold; Perhaps, it did not like what it was told; May be, it wished to act as if quite old! The sheep didn't know the dangers of the world; It quite forgot the shepherd's heart of gold; The taste of ‘better' grass had changed its hold; It thought it came from superior, a mould! Some day, it will regret its great mistake; The grass it eats now could become soon fake; Its dreamy world could lose its sheen and make; Let's hope it gets some wisdom for God's sake! God gives much freedom to His creatures all; By leading righteous life, we must depart; Most sheep listen and heed to shepherd's call; All heinous sins arise from human heart! The Maker loves all creatures equally; All souls are of same make and quality; Neglecting God is each one's grave folly! Man's sinfulness is boundless, what a pity! The Almighty knows how to save all souls! He gives a time enough and long to change; He grants some persons newer better roles; His saving grace has many forms and range! Yet, man must never give up heaven's gaze; Our earthly life is like a cage and maze; Should we abandon God's meadow and graze? A fool forsakes a shepherd's care and face!
