Purified

Date:

My complaint is bitter today,
It is hard to control my sighs;
Although I do trust and obey,
My questions do not find the whys.

My strokes heavier than the moans,
Only if I knew where was God;
Because of my heart and mind groans,
Since temptation made me not flawed.

I would want to go where He lives,
So that I could present my case;
If anything wrong He forgives,
So His blessings can give me grace.

I have been full of arguments,
To hear His response unto me;
With reflecting His testaments,
For the insight so I can see.

I look for things that He would say,
To hide behind sound maneuvers;
Eradicate shades of gray,
That circulates all the rumors.

He would certainly press charges,
But would never be giving heed;
An investigation enlarges,
So that His judgment will succeed.

If I go east, He is not there,
If I go west, I cannot find;
I really have no idea where,
He might be and I must be blind.

If I go north, let me behold,
If I go south, I cannot see;
Day by day as life does unfold,
I feel as though I am not free.

He knows the road, in which I take,
When He tests me if I am bold;
Checking to see if I forsake,
Or if I turn as pure as gold.

I have followed in His footprint,
While staying within His path;
If He could at least give a hint,
How I can be spared from His wrath.

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.
