My True Apology

I’ll respect your anger
and all of your confusion
but don’t hide behind a wall of hate
or draw unfair conclusions 
I tried through my accomplishments
to keep our family one
but by the time I recognized the flaws
the damage had been done

All I ever wanted
was for you to love your lives
but it seems too late to fix it all
so we must compromise
and I can still love you
though you hold a grudge for me
if you’ll consider this to be 
my true apology

I like your poetry Gayle, it always touches a nerve in me (in a good way) Thanks for sharing. Login to Reply Gayle Rodd Date: 3/21/2017 8:06:00 AM Well I'm glad to hear it's in a good way ;)
