For sometimes stealing too much of twilight, leaving you waiting up with worry. For sometimes not leaving the kitchen as immaculately clean as you left it. Should I hurt or disappoint you, whether I realize it or not. Should an entire day steal away without hearing me say..."I love you." Forgive me, sweetheart. For all my sins, mistakes; failing to keep "It won't happen again" promises. For sometimes taking undue advantage of your inherent benevolence. For often failing to meet you halfway, all the way; not praying as often as I should. For sometimes falling short of your expectations of me, Forgive me, Lord. Amen.

One should be most obliged to one's partner in life and the good Lord who created us. For falling short of their expectations, we have to seek forgiveness. The ability to understand one's shortcomings and feel repentant over them is the first step towards improvement. A very heartfelt poem. Wish you a Happy New Year of peace and prosperity, dear Edward.,
