Sorrow and Regret (An ode to Natalie)

I forgot when I shouldn’t have
I am sole to blame
You were hurt and disappointed
And for that I am ashamed!

What a day of accomplishment
A duet with your teacher!
But I was too consumed with my illness
Convinced it was a visit from the reaper!

I hear it was the recital of all recitals
Your piano number was top par
But the only picture we have
Is some man’s head from afar (thanks mom!)

I forgot your big day
In my mind it just passed by
I feel so bad if it were in my genes
I would cry

So a poem I must write
And on my blog I must post
To publicly say to you
For this, I hate me most

So dear Natalie I apologize
But this I do fret
May not be enough
My poem of sorrow and regret

So I’ll give you a few days
And if you’re still mad yucky
I’ll take and buy you
The cheapest thing at Tepanyaki!

With all my sorrowful love, Marcia

Haha. Sorry for Natalie, but that is an awesome poem. It reminded me why I used to steal your work for my class at Dixie. LOL. Oh your poem about Christian Hancock.
