The Apology

By Shambhavi Semwal

We know we speak too much, it’s our trait,

We ask so much, you know we can’t wait.

Yes, we trouble you, but we do respect,

We have realized, just don’t show our aspect.

From outside we are naughty, impatient and even troublesome,

But from inside we are all beautiful and handsome.

With the pain in you eyes when you said you were hurt,

Trust me or not, we are starstruck.

Believe me teacher, we felt your pain,

Tears were ready to flow in the form of rain.

You are not a teacher but our mother,

Giving birth to the capability inside us.

You are not a teacher but someone greater than the God,

Someone who is always beside us.

If sorry could help make our mistakes erase,

Then we would bring it to you in a thousand ways.

If apologies could solve what we messed up,

We will bring it, from the depth of earth, even from the moon’s cart,

From the edge of universe, from the bottom of our heart.
