A Good Refuge

Date:

Our Lord is good,
He is a fortress;
Whenever I would,
Being in distress.

God knows those who seek,
Shelter within Him;
The ones who are meek,
No longer feel grim.

He will put an end,
To iniquity;
Those things that offend,
With absurdity.

The Lord will pursue,
His foes of the dark;
Discipline is due,
Where they do embark.

So what do you think,
About our Lord;
For He is your link,
When in one accord.

He is the one who,
Will bring to an end;
Of what troubles you,
Making you His friend.

This trouble will not,
Be happening again;
As peace that you sought,
Like it once had been.

The people will be,
Just like tangled thorns;
And too blind to see,
Anyone that mourns.

Like people who drink.
Too much and get drunk;
Take no time to think,
From lessons they flunk.

They will be burned up,
Like very dry straw;
Fire in their cup,
Because of their flaw.

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.
