Fountain of Life

Date:

Those who stray will plan evil,
Showing what is in their heart;
As controlled by the devil,
No matter what they impart.

But those who are merciful,
Faithfully plan what is good;
Their thinking is beautiful,
The same way that the Lord would.

Hard work always gains something,
Evidence of achievement;
But idle talk will just bring,
Broken hearts and bereavement.

The crown of the wise people,
Will be their abundant wealth;
Not visiting a temple,
For lack of spiritual health.

The stupidity of fools,
Is just measured by folly;
Never following the rules,
Nor feeling melancholy.

An honest witness saves lives,
Telling what is known as truth;
Having wisdom and is wise,
Polite and never uncouth.

But the one who always lies,
Is dangerous and at risk;
Exposing through their disguise,
With a downfall that is brisk.

Strong confidence comes from God,
Built from a fear of the Lord;
If we do honor and laud,
As He is loved and adored.

Take refuge as His child,
By showing fear in the Lord;
Embracing you so mild,
Let not His touch be ignored.

Fear is the fountain of life,
Turns away the grasp of death;
Easing the stress from the strife,
Giving life past the last breath.

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.
