Treasa Jarvis Poet Kyrielle

Have Mercy On Me

I did not head your call today.
I listened to what others say.
I failed to hear your still small plea
Oh,Lord Have mercy on me.

I didn't call to check on dad.
I ignored the feeling that I had.
caring about no one you see.
Oh,Lord have mercy on me.

I got a call from Nurse FLo.
I started crying when she let me know.
dad had been calling for me to see.
Oh,Lord have mercy on me.

Please oh,Lord forgive me now.
and help me make things right somehow
Help me to get back to the
Oh,Lord have mercy on me
