The Bummer Lamb is more than a story—it’s a parable of our times. In this cinematic spoken ballad, David Burnell reflects on the tender truth of the lamb that is left behind by its mother, too weak to survive on its own. But when seen by the shepherd, lifted with care, and raised with love, it becomes the one who knows the Shepherd most intimately.

Blending themes of brokenness, healing, spiritual rescue, and quiet acts of grace, this piece speaks to anyone who’s ever felt abandoned… or anyone who’s ever lifted another soul from the dust.

The story becomes a metaphor for service, redemption, and the power of love that sees worth in what others might cast aside. It’s a call to serve like the Shepherd does—one fragile heart at a time.
