I'm Sorry

The pangs of life tore me down
I never meant to be so unkind
Now that I think of it, I said some things
That I swear I didn't mean
^^^^
Nat is seems those we love are the first ones we unleash our bitter words upon. You are not alone here sweets.

Being discarded by my father
Has created hatred within my heart
And for some reason I felt as though
You needed to recreate his part
^^^^
Nat this stanza made me want to reach out and hug you dear girl ... so touching

I pray on this very day
That you can forgive me
And one more thing, I need to say
I'm sorry and I love you Mommy!
^^^
Now this stanza made my eyes all teary. Beautiful ending Nat ....
With this ending stanza if the reader did not know you ... had never talked to you before ... I think they would honestly want to be your friend. For they would know that for someone to write from their very heart such beautiful words of love, they must be a wonderful kind soul. And they would be correct.

She isn't perfect, she's made mistakes but she raised a good person. I'm proud of who I am and I owe it all to her.
^^^^
You are absolutely %100 correct Nat ... she indeed raiseD a good person. And you should be so very proud of who you are ....
YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEART!
Touching read Nat, you've penned this with all of your heart and soul ...
What could I say to change about it ....
nothing ... because it is the spoken words of your heart and they should never be changed.

Take care
Luanne

That was a truth felt poem. I really feel this one deep. I'm literally standing here applauding you at my desk. I'm inspired to write a poem about me and my mother's love and pain. Very good poem. Thanks Natalie84. You've touched another unmentionable spot in my heart.

Very clear and honest writing Natalie.
