Heaven Help Me

I feel like giving in to it
The past is closing in on me
Physically as age comes on
Sometimes the pain is unbearable
What I want can’t help
What I need is in reach
Don’t want to know it again
Heaven help me if I give in
The devil has a hold of me
I don’t know how much longer
I can fight him off
My will is fading fast
Dear lord, don’t let me go
I can’t last much longer
The feelings are strong
Heaven help if I give in

Dear Teresa, Don't ever give up please. Keep on writing, you have a gift to share with the world. The Lord is always with you, he will never let you go. He loves you! When the time is right he will take you but in the meantime try to Live the best you can while you still have life. Big Hugs and Gods Blessings to you my dear Teresa
