I'm sorry my child

The mistakes that I made, they overshadow the good,

I thought I did what I should, but I guess I misunderstood.

Everyday we get to learn, and everyday we get to choose,

But rarely do we think about the things we stand to lose.

I have had my up's and my downs, my low's and my high's,

I'd rather say I'm trying, than to say that I tried.

I wish we could go back, and fix our mistakes,

Knowing all that I know now, and what is at stake.

The decisions we make, can have a lasting effect,

And either work out in our favor, or cause us regret.

Yet when I make them for us, the one's that are tough,

Why we are in the situation is never discussed.

I will be the one to blame, I take it, I'll own up.

I only hope you'll understand, when you're finally grown up.

I'm Sorry.
