My shot was untrue,
I feel sorry for you,
Because I know it's true,
Your pain is all my fault.

You must've felt so much pain,
I shall try, all in vain,
To give you a mother again,
But your child-hood has come to a halt.

Until this quest is done,
I'll treat you as my son,
But after the jewel is won,
I don't know what you'll do.

If you want to stay here,
Or go to my home year,
You needn't fear,
'Cause I'll be there for you.

If you never forgive me,
For ruining what your life could be,
I'll understand completely,
Because I would feel the same.

I know that it's hard,
You're past has been marred,
By the darkness of a shard,
From the jewel that was broken by my bad aim.

I just want you to say,
That even though they went away,
Both your parents were alive today,
They would be proud of you.

And, Shippou, don't be sad,
Staying with us isn't too bad,
There's a lot of fun to be had,
Besides, Shippou, aishitaru.

(Kagome's poem, to Shippou, that last word is suppose to translate to 'I
love you' but chances are I got it wrong, and just made her call him a pig
fucker, which is an accident.)
