A Poem by Jemima Laing

I have to learn to appreciate what I have
Before what I have slips away
I realize that what I did to her
Is so hard to forgive

I know you're tired of hearing this
I know it must seem so old
But I'm sorry for all I've done
For not appreciating who you are

For betraying your trust
A trust I can only hope to regain
For acting like just another girl
Whose affections swing
For being shallow like
the water of a fountain

I repeat phrases, to tell you how I feel
But I think they've turned hollow to your ears
And I need to let you know
Just what you mean to me

To me you are precious
Like a rare oasis of water is to those
dying of thirst under the harsh sun

You are the faith that I
cling to in hard times
When all hope is gone

And all the riches in the world
Could not make me happier
Than you do everyday

I guess in the end
I just want you to know
That I appreciate all you do
And that no matter how stupid I act
I will always love you
