A Little Heart's Apology

Father, please don't hide sadness.
Your silence breaks my heart.
My mistake caused your pain.
Please forgive your little girl.

I know you fought today.
Because of my childish act.
Neighbors heard angry voices.
Your heart carried every wound.

Balcony holds your lonely tears.
I quietly sit beside you.
Your smile means my world.
Please smile once for me.

Never again I'll hurt you.
Never lower your proud head.
Your values guide my footsteps.
Your love lights every path.

Hold my tiny little hand.
Let me heal your heart.
Forever your grateful daughter.
Forever my beloved father. ??

Sometimes during the learning children slip up. Parents need to teach and not punish or show sadness for it.
