Tomorrow

Date:

Do not brag about tomorrow,
For knowing not what it will bring;
You could be finding much sorrow,
From the day before that may cling.

Praise should come from another man,
Never from your own mouth and lips;
Since they might have a better plan,
Who may be a stranger with tips.

Stones are heavy and weighs a lot,
Vexation is heavier of all;
As headache pain when deep in thought,
Could very well be your downfall.

Anger is cruel and overwhelms,
Turns to fury when crossing paths;
Which puts yourself in evil realms,
Since you will feel such painful wraths.

But who can survive jealousy,
When someone does better than you;
Tries to make you feel like a flea,
In the path that want to pursue.

But criticism can be better,
Than having an unexpressed love;
It may release any fetter,
That is holding you back thereof.

Wounds that had been made by a friend,
Better than a kiss from a foe;
They are intended in the end,
Show the direction you should go.

Someone full will reject honey,
But the one that hungers will eat;
Although he may have no money,
Even bitter food will taste sweet.

Like the bird flying from its nest,
So does the husband who will roam;
Seeing which lady is the best,
Finds out the best one is at home.

Perfume may make the heart glad,
But the fragrance of the forest;
Will make the mind wish that it had,
Live there rather than a tourist.

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.
