Kneeling silently with bowed head Hands clasped and eyes shut tight My mind returns to all my crimes I pray for God to hear my plight With loud and trembling voice I cry "Set me free, oh gracious Lord!" But the axe falls -- my head rolls -- The penance I must pay for sin -- "God is more merciful than men" The executioner replies and grins. **jerome the boy with no brain |

Read metaphorically or literally this is a great prayer - and one many could relate to in the metaphorical sense! Well done. |
