Empty

Date:

If I had told you,
Christ came back to life;
Maybe doubt if true,
From all of the strife.

Some of you might say,
Too impossible;
Many shades of gray,
Just not feasible.

How can you bring back,
To life someone dead;
Some factors you lack,
Deceptions have led.

Then our message,
Would have no meaning;
This is a presage,
That is demeaning.

Then the witnesses,
That had testified;
Must be geniuses,
The way that they lied.

If the dead do not,
Live and be restored;
Since bodies do rot,
Are stiff as a board.

Your tank is empty,
And faith is worthless;
With no victory,
Checkmate with your chess.

All those believers,
No longer exist;
Since all deceivers,
Preaching does persist.

If Christ is the hope,
We deserve pity;
For all that we cope,
Since death not pretty.

But Christ did come back,
To life from the dead;
Only if we lack,
Our faith instead.

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.
