Forget Not

Date:

Shout for joy, let Heaven rejoice,
Let the earth burst into a song;
As the mountain lifts up its voice,
Let all of us sing loud and long.

For the Lord comforts His people,
With compassion for the stricken;
And taking refuge within His temple,
Where others are that are sicken.

But has the Lord forsaken me?
Can a mother leave her child?
No longer could she ever see,
Or abandon in the wild.

Might the Lord have forgotten me?
Not having any compassion;
Releasing babies to be free,
From the womb through an abortion.

Although a woman may forget,
The Lord can never forget you;
He already has paid your debt,
If you desire to be true.

Your name engraved upon His hands,
Your walls are ever before Him;
As your prayers ask for your demands,
He fills you with vigor and vim.

Your children have hastened Him back,
Those who had laid waste to depart;
Because the confidence they lack,
Made them to have a change of heart.

Will you ever say in your heart,
You were both bereaved and sterile;
Who bore me these that I impart,
Causing you to be in peril.

You were displaced and rejected,
But you were never left alone;
You might have felt as neglected,
Because God would never disown.

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.
