| Papa Bear after a bath! |
And here is an apology for what may have been,
For what rests unknown, dark and unseen.
It was a mistake, I assure you of my honest
intentions,
I did not mean to hurt your feelings, or damage
your emotions!
My heart did weep along with you,
But you could not look in my tear filled eyes, No!
Too filled with sorrow and engrossed in
yourself,
You failed to notice how I loathed myself,
To bring to you what never should have been,
If only I was ignored by your kind being!
Please find in your dear heart to once again
forgive,
How undoubtedly foolish and insensitive I
behave,
For if it were not for your love and care,
I’d truly be lost in this world so unfair!

A heartfelt apology is sometimes very hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteand rarely ignored i would say!!
DeleteI love the last few lines. They are tender and open and honest.
ReplyDeletethank you Kim!
DeleteOdd how people, especially parents, want it all one way. My dad actually told me once "If you heard me you'd be doing what I said." He forgave me when I asked. I say that because of the way your poem shows territory where the speaker has been wronged, and yet it is the speaker who apologizes. Very important to have humility.
ReplyDeletei think you're right susan... humility is what a person might fail to teach though by being stubborn about their own opinion...
DeleteAn honest and heartfelt apology.. just like it should be..
ReplyDeletethank you ! :)
DeleteApology of the heart and no excuses - wonderful.
ReplyDeletethank you George!
DeleteThis is wonderful, Arusi.. But in the real world there are two sides to almost every misunderstanding.
ReplyDeleteParents? I will never forgive my dad. I loved him but still there is only one side to brutality and abuse.
Worse yet, he never asked for forgiveness.

I like your bear find. I am thinking that it is an older one. Mrs. Jim gave our Adi a very old bear, maybe over a hundred years, to comfort her as a puppy. But latter as a frisky young dog, she tore it up. http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2012/08/adis-retirement-six-word-saturday.html
DeleteAdi died two years ago, on September 17, 2012. http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2012/09/six-word-saturday_21.html
