Number Nine - "Apology Poem"

--

Dear My Beloved Mother, 

I'm sad to say but I'm sorry

I didn't mean to do this thing

It just so happened to be

I know all the effort you give

So please, I ask you to forgive

All the misgivings and wrongs I have done

Please forgive this one

I'll do my best next time not to mess it up

And I'l keep it up

'Till the very end of my life

I promise I won't cause strife

So please, give me one more chance

I promise it will be the last

I won't ever break this pact

I'll prove it by the way I act

So I ask you one more time

Please forgive me for what I've done

I cross my heart and hope to die

I'll keep this promise all my life

I promise, I won't break your heart
