Forgive Me... Please?

Written three different ways.

Forgive Me... Please?

I'm just a man...
often forgetful
usually thinking of other things
when you want my attention.
Always fighting my own windmills,
when I should be listening
to what you wish of me.

Forgive me...please?

For all of the love
and the beauty
and the kindness
and the joy
and the freedom to be
and the steadfast foundations
that you have
willingly provided me...
I'm still but
just a man.

Forgive me... please?

You take what I offer
without comment
or question.
You give comfort
and you bring contentment.
You do all these things
even when I don't seem
to hear
or understand.
You do this
because that's the nature
of you...
the nature of
being a woman.

And I'm
just a man.
Forgive me... please?

Forgive me
and I hope I will
remember
to be...
and do...
better.

The point is, we all have our weaknesses...
and our strengths.
The relationships that work, are the ones
that understand and recognize them,
and can still work, either in spite of,
or because of them.
Each relationship has gives and takes.


Or... if I had written it this way.
