Poetry: Sheep

When you bottle feed a baby,

It trusts you'll give it care.

Baby lambs so trusting,

Not knowing to beware.

Yes, I tended and played

For months unknowing,

That one day no longer

would they be growing.

After school to the barn

I happily ran

But no longer did I have

My sweet little lambs.

Was a lamb was cute as a button

Soon became a wooly sheep

And then was sold as mutton.

    To sound
    Of complaint

    I was born
    In partnership

    Sometimes at night

    when I can't sleep,

    I try the standard

    of counting sheep.

    Some times it works,

    sometimes it fails,
