MY APOLOGY
My mind was restless through the hours,
I did not have much time to listen to his chatter.
Also the little run-errands he wished from me,
I never did as much as he needed.
He gladly welcomed my short visits, every time,
But I saw the secret wish in his feeble eyes.
Whenever he asked me to stay longer,
My usual reply was, “I will visit you again later”.
Sometimes, I forgot my promise,
While swimming in the Life’s ocean.
