The youngest of brothers cast out in the mud
Unknown and hidden but God knew he would
Rise at the time when his name was called
Anointed and chosen when the riddle was solved
Alone in the pasture tending the sheep
His heart always singing a joy he would keep
Secrets and living where no one could see
Solitude life in the wilderness heat
Danger of beasts lurking and stalking his flock
Trained up and ready no rest on the clock
Hour by hour passing slow into days
God saw David’s heart and he knew of his ways
Molded and humble he was formed in His hands
Prepared for a journey and greater new lands.
Inspired by 1 Samuel 16:1-12
