Forgive Me, O Sweet Mother

Would it be okay if I took some of your time?

Would it be okay if I wrote you a rhyme?

Would it be alright to say what I've to say

Would it be alright to ask forgiveness my way?

I know we are in this together

You are the kindest, dear mother

Please don't take this to heart, don't bother!

Would it be okay if I said Sorry

For all the things that made this day dreary?

Would it be alright if I washed away those unkind sayings

And promised to not blame; be a better being

I know you only mean better

Caring and helping so I can be a goal-getter

Please forgive me, o sweet mother

Please forgive me, o sweet mother
