David



Oh, little
David,
as you march
your way
in and out of
a world
of thick headed
Philistines
and their
towering giants,
I can only
sigh for you
pray for you
...sometimes
cry for you.
Against such
studied and powerful
enemies
one could indeed
wish for better
ammunition
than the vague
and troubled past
you bear
as your only
rock and sling.
But what is
given to me
to see
as I watch you
-flown high-
overhead,
is that the
election of the Lord
guards you by day,
rocks you gently
at night
and will one day
surely
make of you
a lovely Psalm
to your
King.
