I'm Sorry Mama

I'm sorry mama, that I made you cry. 

I'm sorry that I forgot you and made you wonder why. 

You worked so hard to bring me up.

But in my neglect, I took away your cup.

I'm sorry mama, that I was never there.

When you needed me most..  I was found... no where.

You toiled each day, from dawn till dust.

To give me a life, with your love and trust.

I broke your heart and I turned my back.

So filled with myself, I didn't consider your lack.

You thought I didn't need you. 

So you kept to yourself.

But longing for a touch.

And was not asking for much.

If wishes were granted, today I would beg.

To go back in time, and grab hold of your leg.

I stand here today.

With regret flowing free.

As I watch you go, far away from me.

If only I knew then, what I know now.

I would make different choices and beg God to allow.

For time to stand still. 

That mama you could see. 

How happy I would make you.

Till eternity.
