I am weary and tired

Drawing upon an empty energy.

A shepherd I am of a young flock

Each flock now has more energy than I

Running on mere nothing

I’m left only to hope and faith

My flock either follows or wanders

And I have not the energy for either

Hold me in strength

Clothe me in security in the absence of drive

Warm the paddles

Place them upon my soul

Place them upon my body

I am weary

I am tired
