Remembering

Date:

Oh Lord you have examined me,
You know because inside you see;
Every single inner thought,
All desires that I have sought.

You alone know when I sit down,
Every time I wear a frown;
You read my thoughts from far away,
Anytime with an urge to stray.

You know when I get out of bed,
And what type of food I am fed;
You watch as I move to and fro,
Everywhere that I may go.

You watch over me when I rest,
Waking up going on a quest;
You are familiar with my ways,
What I do through all of my days.

Even before a word is flung,
You know what I speak with my tongue;
Knowing every sight and sound,
That I perceive from all around.

Remembering the good and bad,
As well as the times I was sad;
You had caused agony within,
When it was involving a sin.

You have the knowledge that I lack,
Being near me both front and back;
Such knowledge is beyond my grip,
While it eludes from my lip.

It is too high for me to reach,
Please Lord as I ask you to teach;
How to climb the rays of the sun,
So I can be second to none.

Please take me to a distant shore,
Away from the heathens that pour;
Out of the sea and the sun sets,
As the pure thoughts erases debts.

Remember first thoughts no longer,
So I can make my faith stronger;
Let only the good to shine through,
A spirituality view.

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.
