My Greatest Gift

You may never realize it, and certainly time didn't tell, but living all this time without you has been my own personal hell the day you were born, is one i will never forget, though i didnt deserve you, you were my greatest gift a product of a terrible mother, and what did i do? you had no fault but i did the same to you all the birthdays that came and went you were grown before i knew it time that wont come back again i should have known better i had been in your shoes of all the hatred i once felt and then giving it to you i hope one day as youre older, and you become more wise, that you will be able to forgive me as with my mom i have tried dont get me wrong im not here to justify but at least say that i am sorry when my mom couldnt apologize i love you with all my heart no matter how it may seem if i could redo anything in this life it would be your mother once again

Somethings in life we just can't change, we just have to accept that it is what it is. Impressively written Jennifer.

A tearful plea for mercy and forgiveness this poem exposes that dark place we try to keep hidden. Regret, jennifer, can only be replaced by self-acceptance. Really well expressed.
