Apology
Apology
Have done things am not proud of,
Most time my last statement is 'had I known'
I would have done it right
But how would I ever have that experience I seek to have if I don't make mistakes.
I hold peace, love and harmony
I bless you so you can care for me when the time comes
Am always here to fight your course
But why make me regret
I know I did wrong
Just a little more of good would have made you proud of me
Am not perfect......
But perfection is all I seek
You seek perfection while I seek love
You want more and I provide
They wonder why I make you this rich
I place you higher above other nations
I make them wish they are you
I gave you resources that your 10th generations will benefit from
But all that, I can't make account for.
Am sorry,
All I did was trust with all you bless me with
I share with them but they have ulterior motives,
Taking all you bless me with
You trust......
Never minding if they trust you
You are to be blame if I ever stop caring for you
I need you now more than ever,
My world is crumbling,
Am weak and poor....
No, you are rich
You can never be poor
All you need do is look around you
Things you look down on are things you will need to care for me in the future.
The future.....
What does it hold?
Will I still be here?
Can I still make u proud of me?
Oh.....
You are like d prodigal child
I will always welcome you back with open arms
I will entrust all my possessions to you
Never minding how you take care of them.
Do I deserve to be loved this much?
What have I done to be bless by a land I have disappointed in many ways?
You have done nothing worth deserving
You have always proven worthless
You have disappointed me in many ways
Even I myself wonder why you still hold a place in my heart.
Please forgive me....
I wish I know better
But now am ready to make things right
But how do I make you proud of me?
Hold on to the future
It's more brighter than the past
What is the future?
Who is he?
How does he look?
Where is he?
When will it come to me?
The children....
Care for them and I will always be here to bless you.
They are the future.
