the shepherd
the protector
guards his flock
feeds his sheep

my protector
stands guard over me
feeds me
fills me

he stands guards over me
i never go hungry
he keeps my coffers filled
he sustains me

my spiritual food
fills my cup to overflowing
sustains me in need
deserving of my trust

my fullness
overflowing sustenance
trust in abundance
hope eternal

hope eternal
trustworthy and true
sustenance of my soul
filling me with him
feeding me from his word

the Lord is my Shepherd
i hear his voice.

I can see the "Shepherd Psalm" means much more to you than just a nice religiousy-sounding piece. Your depth of intimacy with Him shows here.
Interesting use of lower case. Is there a technical term for that? Or a school of poetry that specialises in it? Or is it uniquely Catlin style?

This is a beautiful poem with such wonderfully encouraging meaning.

It's so hard to put in so few words all He is and all He's done, yet you did in a captivating way. Nicely done!
