Futile Ways

Date:

Your minds must be clear,
Ready for action;
For evil is near,
For satisfaction.

Place your confidence,
Wholly in the Lord;
As your best defense,
Not to be ignored.

Because His kindness,
When Jesus appears;
Give sight to blindness,
In regards to fears.

You are a child,
Who must obey God;
Stop living wild,
Makes you to be flawed.

Live not kind of life,
That you have had known;
Filled with so much strife,
That was not condoned.

You lived to fulfill,
Your own desire;
Pleasure to instill,
A passing fire.

You knew not better,
For not knowing God;
You were a debtor,
And were very flawed.

But God had called you,
To become holy;
To Him remain true,
Revere Him solely.

Call God your Father,
Live your time on earth;
Wait for your Brother,
Who will give re-birth.

Through Him you believe,
Your Brother is Christ;
Able to relieve,
Feeling not enticed.

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.
