Sometimes I say things
I really regret.
But I can't seem to stop myself,
Not on a bet!
...
When I worry, my face looks a fury;
With all my thoughts of gloom and doom.
As I look in a mirror, I coil back in horror(!) ,
...
Nearly everywhere,
There are stands of pines,
Crowded gently by multitudes
Of other kinds of trees.
...
I loved you before you were born and
I looked forward to the day you arrived.
I was the happiest Mother
In the whole wide world and
...
Lines of sadness
Deeply crease her face.
Giving traces of madness
That no longer will erase.
...
We sorrow in our hearts
We must never forget
Death is only a part
Of Life, here on Earth.
...
Truly Sorry
Sometimes I say things
I really regret.
But I can't seem to stop myself,
Not on a bet!
Oh, I try to breathe and
Calmly relieve,
My tension-filled point-of-view;
But, instead,
I puff and wheeze and
Strangledly squeeze
Hissed words,
I don't care to repeat.
Then, I'm truly sorry
For all the words
I have to eat!
