Dear Mom and Dad,
I know I’ve caused you pain,
With my stubborn ways and selfish acts,
I’ve brought more clouds than rain.
I’ve been spoiled and reckless,
Ignoring all you’ve done,
Taking your love for granted,
Like I’m the only one.
I’ve pushed away your wisdom,
Refused to listen when I should,
I thought I knew it all,
But now I see I misunderstood.
Every “no” you said,
Was meant to keep me safe,
Every rule you made,
Was out of love, not hate.
I see it now so clearly,
How blind I’ve been to your care,
You’ve given me the world,
But I acted like it wasn’t there.
I’m sorry for the hurtful words,
The nights you spent in tears,
For every time I disobeyed,
And made you face your fears.
I want you to know I’m changing,
I’m trying to be better each day,
I’m learning to respect your love,
In every little way.
Thank you for never giving up,
Even when I was at my worst,
For standing by me patiently,
When I put myself first.
I can’t undo the past,
But I promise to make it right,
To be the child you deserve,
From morning until night.
I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused,
And for the trouble that I’ve been,
I hope you can forgive me,
And let a new chapter begin.
I love you both so deeply,
More than words can ever show,
I’m grateful for your endless love,
And I just wanted you to know.
