Hail, Holy Queen!

...Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry -- poor banished children of Eve... to thee do we send up our sighs -- mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this -- our exile -- show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary... pray for us, O holy Mother of God: that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O God, whose only begotton Son, by His life, death, and resurrection has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life... Grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries in the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise: through the same Christ our Lord.

...this has been a week of answered prayers. all regrets have finally been revisited, and forgiven.

"back to you
it always comes around
back to you..."

i doubt that you remember me saying,
"this song always reminded me of you..."
that was back in feb '04.

but i very much doubt you'll return.

maybe i still regret not taking your advice...?
no! the life of few regrets...

...i can't wait until i can look back on everything and laugh. really!
