Apology

Asking forgiveness for actions when they go wrong actually needs guts along with fear of God; Admitting one's faults gives amazing results - it assures one's mind of peace. ----------------- 9.8.16

This is one of the best smooth flowing entries I have read, Jo! An apology without forgiveness has little or no meaning. You made good use of enjambment, too. Congrats on this fine win. Regards // paul

You stuck to your subject Jo, which is exactly what this form calls for. I see so many titles that are ajectives instead of a subject. Beautifully done! I would have had this much higher. Congratulations! : )

Very wise words Jo,it reminds me of the Elton John song, "sorry seems to be the hardest word" but it's a great word to soothe relationships and hurt feelings.Very nice write!

Yes Jo, So very true. Asking for forgiveness is an admission of guilt and some people only ask God not the person they have wronged because of foolish pride. Great write, good luck in contest.
