How Can Man

Date:

I know that this is true,
But how can a mortal;
Be pure like morning dew,
To enter the portal.

Maybe have a debate,
With God on one question;
That could reveal a fate,
What is His suggestion?

God is wise in the heart,
And mighty in power;
Who would want to depart?
As devils devour.

Who wants to oppose Him?
And still expects to win;
When earthquakes on a whim,
From His wrath due to sin.

The earth shakes from its place,
Makes the sun not to rise;
A red moon from disgrace,
As His wrath will despise.

He stretches out Heaven,
Walks on waves of the sea;
Favor will be given,
To those who are sin free.

He made stars in the sky,
To form constellations;
Twinkle as if they cry,
From the desolations.

He does marvelous things,
Miracles seem not real;
Of goodness that it brings,
Giving spiritual zeal.

He has passed right on by,
And have not even seen;
I search low and search high,
But knows where I have been.

He takes something away,
But who would stop or ask;
Because you disobey,
Negligent in your task.

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.
