I’m Sorry

My life..
As you know, came from you
You nurtured me within you
With all the hopes and dreams
Any mother could wish for

I was born into your world
Destined to be your companion
I was a female and your first born
Your best friend, when I grew older
Your shoulder to cry on, when you needed me..

You cared for me
Fought for me
Gave you life to me
Like no other mother would
It was your dream, to be my example
To be my guide and my companion

Then I grew up
My heart was broken, by a first love
Nothing could be done to protect me
My fall took me away from you
Made me rebellious
Loosing all dreams and hopes
I got lost in my own pain
Disappearing from your world

I am so sorry Mom
I should have been there
To hold your hand, to comfort you!
I hurt you deeply, but I was young
Too you young to realize
you needed my hand

I’m sorry Mom
For letting you down
For not being the daughter
you expected me to be…..

I’m sorry Mom…

very 'real'; heart-felt; and grandly emotive and most effective! [I am an 'iron
fist in a velvet glove'...writing 'social impact/conscious' poetry (on a
'philosophical' level) on one hand ....and, 'unabashed/incurable
'Romanticism' on the other hand...but, I truly, dearly wish I could 'write my life'
(Realism) like this fine poet so adeptly does!]

MUCH applause!!

one tiny point, if I may?....perhaps the color choice for the lettering detracts
somewhat from the 'power' of this write?....

i feel your loss.  i too have walked in your shoes - but I was lucky enough to realize my errors in time...

i have written my mother a poem, telling her I was sorry for my errors, and asking her to guide me in the right direction.

I wrote it to her when I was in prison... I am home now, and even though she is disabled - I enjoy her smile... the one that she hid from me in my time away.  from her, from life

i am gratefully clean and sober.  and I did before her time on earth ended.

peace

I can never resist reading a poem dedicated to a Mother. "I'm sorry Mom" and "forgive me" are those words that I launch to heaven daily. You express this love, this pain, this awareness very well.

It's a bond that maintains its beauty and depth beyond time and space. And so we can go on to connect forever, in love. It's always the right moment.

Thank you for this beautiful sensitive poem.

Love,
Margherita
