An Inheritance

Date:

I constantly remember you,
Both night and day within my prayers;
In my thanks to God I pursue,
Because I know He also cares.

For I serve with a clear conscience,
The same as my ancestors did;
Because I persist with patience,
Not to go where God would forbid.

I remember your tears I saw,
When you were filled with such sadness;
Before you had gotten a call,
Your were filled with so much gladness.

I reminded you how sincere,
Your faith has to be in your life;
And being convinced you revere,
God for guarding you against strife.

You received a gift from the Lord,
When I placed my hands to ordain;
So never let it be ignored,
For it prevents getting a stain.

I remind you to fan the flame,
Coming from the gift that will burn;
The fire grows as you proclaim,
And what you spiritually learn.

God gives not a cowardly spirit,
Rather a spirit of power;
Good judgment that you inherit,
That refills with love each hour.

Be not ashamed telling others,
All about the Lord our God;
Convince them to become brothers,
Starting to give honor and laud.

Join for the sake of the Gospel,
How God saved us to be holy;
Stressing unto all the people,
The true God the one and only.

So long before the world began,
God would show us of His kindness;
By including within His plan,
How love will always have blindness.

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.
