Two Sheep
By Naomi Becker
Two sheep run in the forest,
There is fear in the air.
They sit and plea to their mother,
Who in love, they share:
“Oh Mama, will you sleep with us tonight?
Cuddle close and warm, waiting for the morning light.
Oh Mama, will you play with us today?
Watch close, so we aren’t led astray.”
Two sheep sleep in the forest,
Side by side.
Two sheep lie together,
Waiting for their mother to come that night.
