Notes About The Poem

Rarely Spoken Words

Rarely Spoken Words 

Rarely Spoken Words

"Please forgive me, I was wrong" --
" when I thought I was right "....
If you ever hear those
rarely spoken words keep
them near your soul...

If the person that spoke them without
coercing-stood strong against their ego-
Liken to a rare jewel, they are.
You can trust them to shine;

They have the fortitude of integrity
Which is the thread of friendship's lifeline
as they will be most unlikely to
deceive you in relationship's.

Those who be sprinkling fairy dust on their
mistakes, are not really sorry, they will
wound you all over, before you are
recuperated, they will injure you again.

You need stay clear.
Remove them like a dart in your heart.
From most you will never hear those
"Rarely Spoken Words"

“I apologize, my fault”
"My bad" - "You were right".
Unless spoken from a jail cell.!

Dear Vicki, rarely we hear those words because rarer are the people who could pronounce them but if we do find them we should do all we can to live up to their standards! Wonderfully expressed!
