…and look at me now!  Ha!  A tired old shepherd, 
I’m no one great, my strength and disposition weathered.
Soon I'll die with no name whilst leading the flocks,
In a proud palace of pastures or royal refuge of rocks! 
Have I wasted my life here? Will a god up there judge me? 
Am I only worth something to the two people who love me? 
Bah! Enough! I'm a shepherd and will be all my days.
Now, let's go yonder to see that bush that’s all ablaze... 

Inspired by Exodus 3:1-3
