The Living Bread

Date:

Christ has food for you to eat,
That you do not know about;
Sit down so to rest your feet,
So you can then shed your doubt.

Did you bring something to eat?
His food will do what the One;
Who sent Him makes you complete,
And finish to get the job done.

Do not say in four full moons,
That the harvest will be here;
When hurricanes or typhoons,
Which just might bring your worst fear.

I am telling you to look,
And see the shape of your field;
All of your hard work it took
The harvest is set to yield.

The person who reaps a crop,
Is already getting paid;
Perseverance did not stop,
No matter how much afraid.

You are gathering the grain,
Now for your eternal life;
Hoping Satan does not rain,
With his temptations and strife.

The person who plants the grain,
And the person who harvests;
Will be enduring the pain,
If infested by locusts.

What I am saying is true,
One plants as another reaps;
For I am preaching to you,
While your heart and mind keeps.

I have sent you a harvest,
A crop that you have worked for;
Eternal life to invest,
In your heart and mind to store.

Other people have worked hard,
As you followed in their deed;
So protect it and stand guard,
The Living Bread that you need.

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.
