Adeleke Adeite Poet Verse

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

May 25, 2009 at 8:58 AM 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
