An Apology
For all the times I snapped at you
When I could have spoken more gently,
Or a whisper would have sufficed
To send the message across;
When I grew impatient, and my irritation
Showed through and through;
When I was not careful with words,
Or when I uttered more than necessary;
When my words flew like daggers
Instead of perfuming the air around us--like flowers;
When I was blinded by passion
To correct you, but in doing so
I failed to correct myself--
Forgive me.
