Wasting Away

There are days that I feel I'm wasting away
here one earth and my desire to be in heaven
is overwhelming but it's not my time yet,
so I try to do what I need to do while biding my
time, trying to be kind, help others and live each
day being the best person I can be while wasting away

Alison A Smith nee Howarth July 27, 2026 at 5:41 PM One day at a time, one step at a time. We pass through our time trying not to face our demons. They eventually catch up. Hopefully by then we know how to fight.
