Growing Old

Date:

God carried you since birth,
And took good care of you;
For He knows your true worth,
More than you can construe.

From the time you were born,
Even as you grow old;
You are here to sojourn,
Till His plan does unfold.

Though as your hair turns gray,
He remains to support;
Even though you do stray,
God would never abort.

He made you and does care,
And willing to rescue;
Saving you from despair,
Because of your value.

God has made me equal,
Unto His only Son;
Knowing I am able,
For getting the job done.

Gold is within my bag,
Silver weighs on the scale;
A wealth that is a drag,
Since death would make it fail.

Cash cannot change your age,
Cannot answer your call;
For as you turn the page,
It cannot stop your fall.

Remember take courage,
Recall rebellious acts;
Let not faults discourage,
Perception of the facts.

God is more than willing,
To pardon for the past;
When you are fulfilling,
A confession to cast.

So when we grow older,
You find God is right there;
Opening a folder,
About your life to share.

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.
