Lamb

Lambs, Baby sheep, Newborn lamb

Small, soft and wobbly on new legs, a lamb stirs tenderness in almost anyone. Dreaming of one often signals a fresh start, an innocent hope or something young that needs looking after, like a new project, a new friendship or a child in your life. In spring a lamb is the very image of renewal. Christian tradition calls Christ the Lamb of God, so for many believers a lamb also carries peace and sacrifice. If the lamb rested quietly in your arms, you're handling something fragile with just the right touch.
