The Things We Say And Do Poem by david lessard

I've seen the hurt
that love can bring
by an angry word or two,
I've seen the damage
done to hearts,
by what we say and do;
I've been at fault
much more than once,
too many times to tell,
and I've seen my love
go down the drain
and I've put myself through hell.

Slowly, I've learned
to turn around,
to follow a path
that's right,
I was foolish for
so long,
before I saw
the light,

so, whoever reads
this verse of mine,
I beg your pardon
today...
I'm sorry for the
pain I've caused,
Forgive me,
if you can
find a way.

I know the joy
that love can give
with a simple word or two,
and I know the peace
that it can bring,
by what we say and do.
