DON'T HATE ME

DON’T HATE ME
A little boy’s words to his mother.

Please don’t hate me for the things I say
Or the way I act and what I do.
All the words I speak I’ll try to stay,
My actions and deeds please forgive me too.
~
I know sometimes, I am really bad
But I don’t mean that way to be,
That’s got to be why you fight with Dad,
I know it’s all because of me.
~
I’ll try real hard to be a good boy
And do all of those things I should.
Maybe that will bring you love and joy
And Dad won’t leave like he said he would.
~
I’ll be so much better, you will see,
So I ask again please don’t hate me.
