Seeing Tomorrow

March 18, 2017 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

We know that if the life,
That we live here on earth;
Filled with struggles and strife,
Since the day given birth.

Our tent taken down,
But still have a building;
No matter to what town,
For faith you are yielding.

For an eternal home,
Awaiting in Heaven;
When we no longer roam,
That we will be given.

In our present tent,
Existence that we sigh;
But are staying content,
Through coping as we try.

We long to wear the house,
As to not to be nude;
Since Christ as our spouse,
With a spiritual mood.

We were feeling distressed,
Keeping the old one on;
To God I had confessed,
Both at night and at dawn.

Soon eternal life will end,
Existence as mortal;
For Jesus our friend,
Comes back through a portal.

God has prepared for us,
Has given His Spirit;
A guarantee as thus,
To what we inherit.

So we are confident,
Always of good courage;
That God has a new tent,
After we have crossed that bridge.

Whether we live in or out,
Life guides faith not by sight;
Our goal without doubt,
For glory that is bright.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

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.

How Priscilla Shirer Surrenders All October 11, 2024
