ApologiesA Poem by Beloved penfreakAppreciating the little things we never even bother about thier existenceAPOLOGIES Apologies for sins I committed For sins I’ve sinned, Or have I?
Against my sins I’ve sinned Apologies for am not even sure I’ve sinned
Apologies to life for treating you with so little care Even though I know I’m void of a spare
From the earth I seek forgiveness Apologies for rashly trampling upon your patience
Apologies to the sky for being so high Never to be looked down upon except by the most high
With the falling rain am guilt ridden Apologies for running to take cover every time you come visiting
To the burning sun I’m conscience stricken For despite your eke you still have to bear with my nagging
Oh dear faith! Hold no grudge against me Apologies for embracing you only when it suits me
My dear lord, before you I bow Forgive me, for only remembering you when I’m down
O happiness! You can call me an ingrate outright Apologies for treating you like you were my birthright
Sadness even to you I’m sorry Apologies for not being able to cause the world any more than worry
For so many mistakes I was never made to pay Apologies for not seeing how much you’ve cleared my way
The still and gentle night often I fear Apologies for with my nyctophobia you still had to bear
Whether cold or hot, rainy or sunny Apologies for terming each day as gruffy
My love, weep not for not all hope are lost Apologies for not being there when you needed me the most
On the slate in which I write Forgive me for tainting your white
With my pen every reason to be outraged Apologies for spilling your blood just to fill my page © 2014 Beloved penfreak |
