"Build Up to M-Day"- Hate or Love?

This is submitted by a friend that many of you will recognize by the online name of  x_dhimmi deb.

My father served with the Navy and the Army. While in the Army he served as an advisor to the South Korean Army (KMAG). I’ve attached a small photo montage of Dad while he was active in the military.

 

Following his military service, Dad (and Mom!) raised three daughters and successfully operated their own retail tire business from which they retired in the mid-1990s. Dad and Mom were married for 51 years, until Mom’s death in 2004. My father remains active in his service to God and his family.

 

Here is a poem my father wrote when he was a young man.

HATE OR LOVE?

By HLA

 

For every man, there is a heart

No matter great or small

It's either filled with hate or love

With hate he's bound to fall.

 

But with love for God and Christ

And for his fellow man

This is the man that will endure

And shall forever stand.

 

Hat's power makes darkness come

To think evil all you can

But love's force with make you say

"Like I, he's a man."

 

No one lives a perfect life

This world is filled with woe

But with the love of God and Christ

The woes are sure to go.

 

So let us hate the least we can

Don't let darkness be our fate

If our heart is filled with love

There'll be no room for hate.

 

And when the Judgment Day has come

And Christ shall claim His own

If our hearts are pure in love

Then we'll be gathered home.
