A P O L O G Y
By Kate Summers
A is for “accepting” I was wrong
P is for “pleading” for your forgiveness
O is for “omission” of your feelings
L is for “losing” my pride and saying I’m sorry
O is for “ownership” of my mistakes
G is for “gracious”, asking for your grace
Y is for “yielding” my errors and my ways.
Please Forgive Me
By Kate Summers,
Never do I want to take you for granted
It can make one feel like they are stranded
I am sorry I made you feel that way
Words just can’t seem to say
How very sorry that I am
Please forgive me if you can!
Please
By Martin Dejnicki
I’m so sorry, I truly care,
This short poem, I’d like to share.
Never wish to cause you harm,
You are always filled with charm.
Please forgive me, on my knees,
Please forgive me, oh please and please!
How Clear, How Lovely Bright
E. Housman
Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
Falls the remorseful day.
Regret
By Charlotte Brontë
Long ago I wished to leave
‘The house where I was born;’
Long ago I used to grieve,
My home seemed so forlorn.
In other years, its silent rooms
Were filled with haunting fears;
Now, their very memory comes
O’ercharged with tender tears.
Never Hurt You
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
You are very special to me
I would never hurt you intentionally
I apologize for what I did, a mistake
I made, I wish I could shake.
Please accept my sincere apology
Saying I am sorry seems secondary
I value your presence in my life
I am sorry I caused such strife.
Shame
By Martin Dejnicki
I look in the mirror, feel so much shame.
It was my fault, I deserve all the blame.
Just don’t know what I was thinking,
With all this shame, I feel like I’m sinking.
All the consequences, I completely deserve,
Can’t imagine, where I found the nerve,
I just feel like the biggest fool,
What I did, was simply not cool.
Your forgiveness, I earnestly plead,
Without it, my heart won’t be freed.
Please forgive me, I miss you so much,
Beautiful voice and your tender touch.
I Was Wrong!
By Martin Dejnicki
I agree, I was wrong,
Wish I could, sing a song,
I know you’re very, very mad,
What I did, was super bad.
Nothing about it, I am proud,
I was trying to impress the crowd.
Next time I should really think,
Maybe even see a shrink.
What I’m trying to really say,
My love for you grows every day.
We should never, ever fight,
I need to hold you, every night.
I’m So Sorry
By Martin Dejnicki
I’ve been so lucky to have a girl like you,
I’m so sorry, if you only knew.
Feel so bad, for being so rude,
I’m so sorry, I messed up your mood.
I promise to treat you like my Queen,
I’m so sorry for being so mean.
If only somehow, I could make things better,
This poem’s from my heart, not just a letter.
Your inner and outer beauty amaze,
I’m so sorry, for my crazy phase.
I wish to give you, my entire heart,
Please forgive me, with a fresh start.
Amazing Guy
By Martin Dejnicki
You are such an amazing guy,
I’m really sorry, I just want to cry.
What I did, I cannot accept,
Cried so much, I haven’t slept.
You simply mean so much to me,
I was blind, now I can see.
Reasons, I just don’t know why,
Please don’t leave, don’t say goodbye.
Promise to make it up to you,
Right now, I just feel so blue.
I’m so sorry, on my knees I cry,
You are one amazing guy.
Three Simple Words
Three simple words
Can be worth more than gold
Saying them with meaning can bring
A change to a person, words that make us sing.
The three simple words that make such an impact
I am sorry, they can change everything, that is a fact.
Say them sincerely, from the bottom of your heart
And you will find things will soon restart.
Don’t hold back, say them soon
Don’t let problems begin to balloon
Three simple words, never forget
By saying them you will have no regret!
Looking Back
Catherine Pulsifer
Looking back I now see
How unkind I could be
Please accept this apology
I know it has not been easy.
I’m sorry for the things I said
The words I said, now I dread
Please forgive me, this I ask
I know it is truly a task.
In the future, I promise to be
More understanding, not so contrary
If words could express how I feel
You would know I’m sorry is so real.
Do Stupid Things
By Catherine Pulsifer
I sometimes do some stupid things
I don’t stop and think of what it will bring
I blurt out words that I soon regret
Or take action that can upset.
If only I could change what I did
But I know that can’t be done, I will not kid
A mistake, I admit, I did make
And now here I lay wide awake
I regret what I did, if I could change it I would
Please let me make it up and do some good
A truly sincere apology I offer to you
I know I hurt you and made you blue.
I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
You are so encouraging and supportive
Please accept my apology
Even though it may not be easy.
This is all about apology poems.
