I Am Sorry

To all my flowers, fans and foes That’s shared my wealth and woes And have perceived my meat and mess in their nose I am pleading for stepping on your toes So, sorry for the scenes I did not show Sorry for the seeds I did not sow Sorry for the cloths I could not sew Sorry for the lawns I did not mow Sorry for the debt that I still owe Sorry that I could not give you a tow Sorry for the times I had to go Sorry for the baseless, blazing row Sorry for the garden that’s yet to grow Sorry for the tantrums I do throw Sorry for the Seasons that I was slow Sorry for the streams that did not flow Sorry for the balloons I did not blow Sorry for the loud voice that went low Sorry for the times I hid the glow Sorry for the burst and the overflow Sorry for the times I may not know That I was a thorn in your tender toe Sorry for the times I was I a woe Always in your face as a fire and foe Please let your blessed breeze blow Away all my sins, stains and shadow

Amen! We all have our sins and failings. Thankfully, God gives us more than one chance. The repetition works well in this poem. The emotion comes through your words. Thank you for sharing this timeless truth with us and for your kind comment on my poem. Blessings to you. Karen
