Apology Letter To My Mama

Dear mama, I apologize for the aches, And all the pain, I apologize for struggle in your heart, Torturing your veins, I apologize for the stressful tears, On account of non-listening ears, I hear your melancholy weeps, From a mind that never sleeps, I know the fake smile you keep, Will break you suddenly, I am sorry for the things making you sick, I am sorry you had to grow up quick, Even when you shout hate, I see love in your eyes, Out of your heart you apologize, But, this is my apology to you, For all the things I put you through, I apologize for the things you never had, Just to make us glad, I apologize for the unpaid bills, that has you taking headache pills, I thank you for your vigilance, But, I can't sit and watch, The other half is gone, And you're fighting alone, Somebody got to be the MAN of the house, We can't always sit on the couch, Mama I appreciate the things you do, I thank God for you, I apologize if my actions never show, I Love You, You bring peace and healing to my soul.
