Occasions

Date:

What do working people gain?
Every day from hard labor;
All of the stress and the pain,
They endure for to savor.

I have seen mortals weighed down,
With a burden God gave them;
Changed their smile to a frown,
As they felt God did condemn.

It is lovely how God makes,
Things happen at the right time;
Causing your shivers and shakes,
Not able to make the climb.

He has given you a sense,
Of timelessness in your mind;
Able to tear down the fence,
That has caused you to be blind.

Yet mortals still cannot grip,
On what the Lord is doing;
About your relationship,
And how you are pursuing.

From the beginning of time,
Until to the very end;
Realize that there is no crime,
Within God you must depend.

So there is nothing better,
For any of us to do;
Follow Him to the letter,
With being cheerful and true.

Enjoy the things that are good,
While living through in this life;
Doing all things that you should,
And it will ease you through strife.

It is a gift from the Lord,
Enabled to eat and drink;
Never let it be ignored,
To be responsible and think.

So experience what is good,
That comes from every kind;
Thinking on what Jesus would,
Keeping Him within your mind.

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.
