Checkup

Date:

I will give thanks to the Lord,
For I am wondrously made;
So I am in one accord,
Thanking Him each time I prayed.

His eyes were able to see,
Even before I was born;
Ensured of the life in me,
As to naturally sojourn.

My bones were never hidden,
As they grew inside the womb;
And hold nothing forbidden,
To haunt me within the tomb.

I was skillfully woven,
Into the man that I am;
To be one of the chosen,
As a brother to the Lamb.

Every day of my life,
Are recorded in His book;
All of the toils and strife,
Even times that I forsook.

How precious are all His view,
That are flowing in my mind;
To motivate and pursue,
For the success that I find.

Of I try to count them all,
More than all the grains of sand;
Mystified as to enthrall,
Being spellbound where I stand.

I wish that the Lord would kill,
All the evil on the earth;
And with others to instill,
Of truly their righteous worth.

A checkup examination,
If I am on the right path;
For receiving salvation,
And will be spared of His wrath.

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.
