A Fragranced Letter

Date:

When I went to the city,
God had given me a chance;
Showing a little pity,
On those who cannot advance.

Spread the Good News of the Lord,
To whom are poor in spirit;
Letting it not be ignored,
Of what they will inherit.

I did not have peace of mind,
No where to find a brother;
The heathens were not too kind,
About faith of another.

But I always thank our God,
Leading me to victory;
So I will honor and laud,
For I know the mystery.

Wherever I that may go,
God use me making clear;
What it really means to know,
Why Jesus Christ is so dear.

It is just like a fragrance,
That is filling up the air;
On a letter to enhance,
The love with one that you share.

For it is sweet to savor,
The fresh aroma of Christ;
Having Him as my Savior,
After being sacrificed.

Many see me as danger,
Just like a poisonous gas;
From the breath of a stranger,
That will be killing their grass.

While others come alive,
Hearing the life-giving scent;
Waiting for Christ to arrive,
That will cause them to repent.

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.
