Rebuild the Wall

Date:

I went to the city,
And was there for three days;
The skyline was pretty,
On all that it displays.

Over night, I went out,
With a few other men;
For shedding any doubt,
What had happened back then.

Back when God inspired,
Ready to change my ways;
Since I had desired,
Rid of my world that strays.

The car I had driven,
As I went through the gate;
It looked just like Heaven,
To go I cannot wait.

But walls were broken down,
And other gates were burned;
Made my smile to frown,
Because of what I learned.

With passing through the gate,
I came up to the pool;
And I saw it was late,
As the weather turned cool.

I went through the valley,
Examining the wall;
Which followed an alley,
When I heard the Lord call.

Rebuild the wall He told,
Build the wall much stronger;
The old wall was too old,
Keep strangers out longer.

See evil in this case,
The status we are in;
If we keep at this pace,
We will not rid the sin.

Let us begin to build,
Encourage each other;
Because it was God willed,
Work with one another.

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.
