Forgiveness
Like a bud of a rose that first sprouts
You come into life with beauty
Love and protection is promised to you
But you soon unfold and things go array
Troubled hearts of both of us take us about
I never wish this journey on anyone
I soon see dark roads ahead with much anger
Even as I see a beautiful heart start to crack
I continue to look another way even in tears
Even at early times I ask for forgiveness
But it’s too late and both hearts hurt with tears
Full bloom and you missed a lot how could it be
Both hearts hurt because of broken promises
Your journey became a dark road with anger
We continue our journey through life but different roads
It now hurts more than a physical pain
I long to see your face but you have no desire for me
I now have grown old and wait for just a glance
Through prayer and begging God I now await
I beg for forgiveness and wished it would be different
I truly never stopped loving you but made wrong decisions
I know you will never know how I feel
I understand your anger and how lost you are
I hope for answered prayers of forgiveness
Days go by and know your troubled roads
I blame myself even if others say to not
How could I of done this to my own sprout
Each night as I pray I know what I have done
I hope to go home with forgiveness when time comes
I will always love you and keep you close to my heart
I love you my sprout and wished it could have been different
A shadow of light
