Dear Mom and Dad,
I know I’ve caused you pain,
With my stubborn ways,
And the times I’ve acted in vain.
I’ve pushed against your wisdom,
Ignored your guiding hand,
Thought I knew it all,
But now I understand.
You’ve given me so much,
Love, care, and endless grace,
But in my selfish moments,
I didn’t see the hurt on your face.
I’m sorry for the times I’ve been rude,
For the nights I made you cry,
For all the times I took for granted,
The love you can’t deny.
I know I’ve been spoiled,
Expecting more than I deserve,
But deep down, I realize
It’s your love that I should preserve.
You’ve always wanted the best for me,
Even when I couldn’t see,
And now, I’m here, owning my mistakes,
Asking you to forgive me.
I’m learning, growing, changing,
Trying to make things right,
I hope you’ll see I’m sincere,
As I step into the light.
Thank you for your patience,
For standing by my side,
Even when I’ve hurt you,
Even when I’ve lied.
I’m sorry for the heartache,
For all the things I’ve done,
But I promise I’m trying to be better,
A better daughter, a better son.
Please accept this apology,
As a step toward a new start,
I love you more than words can say,
And I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.
