Please, Forgive Me

You have a schedule; we have our problems - you don't want to hear about it. You only care about loving us, you only want to laugh, not cry. You have been bargained for like a second-hand item, but you are a first-class person. I have watched you suffer from this terrible fate; you didn't have anything to do with it, it will never be your fault - I promise you that. You are a blessing from above; we have darkened that blessing with our stupidity and stubborness. All you want is peace and wholeness once again; all we want is to be separate, but we both want to share your life. Forgive us! Forgive me! I've fractured your life, I've divided your time, but most of all, forgive me for not being there when you most need a hug; my soul always cries for you, you are my child... the one pure gift from above. Please forgive me, my child. For "Free For all" contest sponsored by Leighann Anderson.

I am divorced from my children's father and this poem was speaking right to my heart! For my favorites for covering every emotion that I feel BUT could never say without BAWLING my eyes out! A huge hug to you for your talent! Gwendolen
