He Carries Me

He carries me

Like a sheep in His pasture

Oh so free

From disease and disaster

My good Shepherd is He

And we’re the people of His pasture

Oh, how He carries me.

Psalm 28:9

Thirty-one years ago, I wrote this in the heat of summer. It is a short poem that I often recite in troubled times. I was barely twenty-one years old and the words of the Psalms were a great comfort to me then as I hope they are a comfort to you now. Whatever you face, He will carry you. Be well.
