Another Day Wasted?

Another day wasted waiting in this prison cell
Fleeting thoughts lost now on heaven and hell
Life has slowed down to a slow motion crawl
God has given me time to think about it all

There's hope because soon by-the-grace-of-God I'll be out
I look forward to that day and-when-I-think-about-it I want to shout!
It will be a challenge at first to get a job and then to be accepted
I pray my actions will reflect that I've repented for what I did

I thank God for all those people who reached out to me
Their prayers and and letters really helped me see
See criminals are sinners who got caught in the act
But remember friend we're all sinners:  that's a fact!

       I am blessed even now while I wait...
            and wait.... and wait...
       I thank God because He helped me realize 
            that waiting on Him is never a waste!
