(For a once upon a time best friend)
I’m sorry you hated your mom and your dad
and your thinking that everyone treats you so bad.
I’m sorry you think your good man is too thin
and a small thing I said you took as a sin.
I apologize for ever being your friend,
but I thank you for putting our ties to an end.
For Barbara Gorelick's "Apology Accepted"
your one in a million my friend,
so here is the sorry poem that i must send,
please accept my apology,
to you i'm saying that i am truly sorry,
for so carelessly taking you for granted,
i have gotten to the point where i just cant stand it,
i miss you hero and please understand this you see,
im sorry and just want you to forgive me,
never really expect a reply,
but from now on will more than try,
miss you hero...sorry is all i can say,
Dennis Rockholt
