Forgive Me Mother Poem by Kaila George

How can this broken hearted fool

Be forgiven for making past mistakes

That affected so many lives

That I didn't mean to break

My Heartbeats at the thought

Of my thoughtlessness I use to lavish

On the ones I thought had ruined my life

My heart breaks at the senseless nagging

That was repetitive in my blame

My eyes water at the lack given

To forgive them from the heart

Why must we be so blatant with how?

We say I forgive you from my heart when in reality

You are the one not that needs their forgiveness

From the heart

I bow on bended knee and ask thee

To forgive me from the heart

For the harm befallen you

This time I mean it from my heart

Please Forgive me Mum
