Fame and Humility

Date:

Do you have encouragement?
Do you have comfort from love?
Ever have discouragement,
Hearing nothing from above.

Do you have relationships?
As spiritual in nature;
Socialize in fellowships,
Considered a new creature.

Are you showing compassion?
To anyone that is sad;
With sympathy in fashion,
For a lost love that one had.

Then fill me with some delight,
Having the same attitude;
The same love within your sight,
Having the right frame and mood.

Let us live in harmony,
Keeping one purpose in mind;
No longer in agony,
But being gentle and kind.

So never be conceited,
But humbly think of others;
You will not be defeated,
Thinking of them as brothers.

Do not relate to self-interest,
Rather what others would need;
The interest that you invest,
Will assist you to succeed.

Christ was in the form of God,
Equal in every way;
Treated the same as to laud,
And never to go astray.

But He became a servant,
Becoming like a human;
While being reverent,
Which was all part of the plan.

Humility given fame,
Confessing on bended knee;
Everyone should proclaim,
By following His decree

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.
