Forgive Me

I tried my best...what can I say,
no map in hand to show the way.
I'd try one thing...and then another,
I tried so hard to be your mother.
A mother that you'd love and adore,
I didn't know that there was more.
Like giving time...an ear to listen,
for these myself were never given.
Forgive me for mistakes I've made,
I hope in time the hurt will fade.

Yes, we can only give our best. And I know you have gave your best and more. By penning this is more. Pam, are your poems about you? You don't have to answer if you don't want to. For I can feel the pain and hurt. I love reading yours. Tu
