They strip me of my dignities.
Time steals treasured memories.
Stress ages with wrinkles and ulcers.
No new faith just tarnished alters,
majestic dreams cannot sustain.
I falter in the throes of this pain,
stand trembling, stumbling in vain.
I cannot remain the same.
Fallen family and friends disappear
moving up on and out of here.
In the end I lose it all;
dying with no angel wings
to bring me to them.
