In Time Seeking Forgiveness Poem by Randy McClave

Let's maybe wait until tomorrow
Just one more day of sorrow,
Or maybe the day after that
Just to see where I am emotionally at.
Maybe then I will express my regret
Of the hurt and pain and neglect,
Maybe I will say that I am sorry then
For my mistakes, that you and others call sin.
Maybe instead I will wait until next week
Then you can turn the other cheek,
Then I will finally have the nerve
And a formal apology I'll have the guts to serve.
As I think that much more
Maybe next month I'll come to your door,
Then I can give you a formal apology
Then my soul will be at peace and free.
Next year maybe would be much better
Maybe instead I can write you a letter,
And I can express the sentiments on how I feel
And finally I won't feel guilty still.
It has already been many years
Since I created and gave you all those tears,
Maybe unto you those memories still don't bother
As they are already known by the father.
Maybe I'll just wait until I feel the time is right
Who knows, maybe even tonight,
But, then I realize the longer the wait
One day seeking your forgiveness, will be to late.
