Atone Poem

I’m mad at me, I let him down,
I promised to wait up,
I tried to stay awake but (groan)
Alas, I fell asleep!

I even took a bath to while
away the evening hours,
It did the trick, just like a child,
Alas I fell asleep!

He always waits for me, so oft
he waits for me to sing,
And once I’m home we take a walk…
Alas, I fell asleep!

I’m such a bum, I’m mad at me,
I read and tried to knit,
My spirit willing, body disagreed,
Alas, I fell asleep!

I feel like Daddy writing poems
To leave for Mom to see,
Hoping to atone with written tomes,
Alas, I fell asleep!
