Monsoon Time

Date:

I cannot see the moon,
Because of the monsoon;
Rain falling all around,
Thunder makes crashing sound.

When will all of it end,
God, a sign can you send?
Will it end over night?
Or wait till morning light?

We need rain but not much,
Causing us floods as such;
Damaging crops and home,
As it leaks through the dome.

Please give me peace of mind,
You are gentle and kind;
By giving us a sign,
The vineyard gives good wine.

I hear thunder above,
Flashing lightning thereof;
I stay home in the dark,
No need for to embark.

Is lightning a formed wrath?
Keeping me on the path;
A means to show the way,
Not to detour or stray.

Guide me through tomorrow,
Without seeing sorrow;
Showing me through each breath,
Rescue me from dark death.

As I lie to get rest,
Recharge to do my best;
Up at the light of day,
As the sun does obey.

Breaking apart the cloud,
Shining down on the crowd;
Blessing us O so much,
Warmth from Your gentle touch.

Though we do not merit,
To what we inherit;
You shine on us with love,
Till taken up above.

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.
