Service

Date:

Do not have any concern,
Be concerned about the Lord;
Because it will be your turn,
Merely be in one accord.

You need to how you can please,
Pleasing the rest of your life;
Like a man who is at ease,
About how to please his wife.

A single woman should be,
About the things of the Lord;
Of the things that she does see,
But nothing can be ignored.

So she has to be holy,
As well within the spirit;
Devoting her life solely,
Everything she does merit.

But for the married woman,
Concerned about earthly things;
Attempting to please her man,
Joys that the family brings.

I am saying this to you.
To benefit not restrict;
Living nobly to construe,
And never to contradict.

Always live a noble life,
Devoting life to the Lord,
Not distracted by the strife,
And able to be ignored.

No father wants to do wrong,
When his daughter wants to wed;
Have her marriage to be long,
And not sinning in the bed.

If her husband is deceased,
She can marry another;
Standing before any priest,
With a meaningful other.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
