In life the Shepard tends his flock.
In hunger the Shepard moves his flock to graze.
In thirst the Shepard leads his flock to drink.
In cold the Shepard guides his flock to shelter.
In danger the Shepard protects his flock from harm.
In peace the Shepard nurtures his flock for life.
A Shepard must be strong to carry the burden of his flock.
A Shepard must be quick so he is ahead of his flock.
A Shepard must be even to provide a foundation for his flock.
A Shepard must be honorable to show truth to his flock.
A Shepard must be virtuous to instill wisdom in his flock.
When wolves are near the Shepard remains calm.
When the ground is unstable the Shepard remains firm.
When all seems lost the Shepard finds the way.
When all is dark the Shepard is the guiding light.
When his flock strays the Shepard rights their path.
Through all things the Shepard has knowledge.
Through knowledge the Shepard has understanding.
Through understanding the Shepard has wisdom.
Through wisdom the Shepard has peace.
Through peace the Shepard has compassion.
Through compassion the Shepard has all things.
