Twenty-Four Hours and Counting (Audrey)

Jesus help my family when I'm gone O God, be merciful to my family Bless the good I've sown O God, be merciful to me Spare me from the evil I've shown O God, be merciful to me My loves are close to my heart; my loves are close at home O God, be merciful to my family One more second, one more day to be known God has been merciful to me! For Audrey's contest themed one day left to live in the kyrielle form.

Doris, I pray this same prayer every day! And if I had but one day left to live, I think I'd spend half of it on the phone saying 'Goodbye', and the other half on my knees saying 'Hello'. You have S-mail. And good luck in the contest!
