Linda Pickron Poet Rhyme

Atonement

ATONEMENT
 
 
I APPRECIATE THE LOVE YOU GIVE
ALTHOUGH I AM OFTEN UNDESERVING
YOU STAND BY MY SIDE AT WILL
MY LOVE, I AM RESERVING
 
KNOW THAT I HAVE CONTRITION
ALTHOUGH IT MAY APPEAR LAME
YOUR LOVE IS OVERLY SUFFICIENT
WHICH IS WHY I CARRY YOUR NAME
 
IN SPITE OF MY POOR ATTITUDE
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW
BUT I HAVE ISSUES TO WORK OUT
WHICH CAN ALTER MY LOVE FLOW
 
MY BEHAVIOR IS NOT YOUR FAULT
THOUGH YOU MAY OFTEN THINK SO
WHILE I WORK OUT MY PROBLEMS
MY LOVE FOR YOU STILL GROWS
 
SO BE PATIENT WITH ME, LOVE
TOGETHER OUR YEARS ARE LONG
IF I HAVE TREATED YOU UNKINDLY
FOR THIS I WILL ATONE
