A Pleasant Aroma

Date:

If someone has caused them distress,
I am not the one affected;
To some extent I do confess,
That I could become infected.

For you have imposed a severe,
Enough punishment upon them;
You should become much more sincere,
Instead of trying to condemn.

So now forgive and give comfort,
Such distress just might overwhelm;
If you put not in the effort,
By supporting their inner realm.

I urge you to assure them love,
So that they do not go astray;
For the aroma from up above,
Will be leading them to obey.

If you forgive, then so will God,
Because of what was done by Christ;
In mending for curing where flawed,
With the mistakes that had enticed.

The Lord had given me a chance,
For spreading Good News to others;
So they are able to advance,
To become sisters and brothers.

But I did not have peace of mind,
You did not become a brother;
Until I finally did find,
The means to convince another.

So I must be thanking the Lord,
For the sweet smelling aroma;
The fragrance cannot be ignored,
With such a spiritual chroma.

Like a fragrance that fills the air,
Drawing you nearer to the Lord;
Life-giving fragrance He will share,
That will bring you in one accord.

We sell not any impure word,
Like many others gone and told;
For only the truth will be heard,
What I speak as being pure gold.

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.
