Have Mercy on Me

Have Mercy on Me





The doctor spanked me on the bottom in hopes that I would breath.

As a new baby born into the world I come out screaming.

I know not what I do only that I was scared and cold.

Daddy don’t get upset, please have mercy on me.



As a newborn I know that I cried a lot.

I was hungry and did not know how to express myself.

I would get cold and could not let you know.

Daddy don’t get aggravated, please have mercy on me.



As a toddler I was curious.

I wanted to touch everything.

I did not know things could break and were not replaceable.

Daddy don’t yell, please have mercy on me.



As an adolescent I was having fun with my friends.

I wanted to climb on everything.

I did not know that the limb would break.

Daddy don’t spank me, please have mercy on me.



As a teenager I knew everything.

I did not need any help from anyone.

However, I did not know that I could become a parent at an early age.

Daddy don’t disown me, please have mercy on me.



As a young adult I am making it on my own and providing for my family.

I am a success and have the world in my hands.       

I did not realize that I could lose my life at an early age.

Daddy please be with me and have mercy on me.



As a child of God I wait to see the light.

I attended church and did well in my life. 

I did not know my name had to be in the book of life.

Father please forgive me and have mercy on me.
