Lip Service

Date:

The mind of a person,
Who has understanding;
Acquired knowledge done,
Through what is demanding.

For the ears of the wise,
Is seeking the knowledge;
And is seen through His eyes,
The mind would acknowledge.

A gift opens the door,
For anyone that gives;
Heart changes at the core,
For as long as he lives.

As the first that will state,
His case always seems right;
He will not hesitate,
As his words start the fight.

Flipping coins end disputes,
For settling of issues;
If the speaker refutes,
Then he still continues.

An offended brother,
Can be more resistant;
As words will not bother,
If never persistent.

Speaking ability,
Provides for his stomach;
The capability,
For preventing havoc.

The tongue has the power,
Of either life or death;
Gentle as a flower,
Or take away your breath.

Whoever finds a wife,
Must speak of her as good;
And keeping her for life,
With happiness you should.

Lip service can destroy,
The loving from a friend;
For the wrong words deploy,
Relationships to end.

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.
