To Be Sorry

  
To Be Sorry

To say that we are sorry - it is never easy, for we
all have pride. If you say that you are sorry, when 
you are not, than don't say it. Don't betray your 
heart.

If you say that you are sorry and don't mean it, 
when you do - no one will believe in you, when you
are saying the truth. It is better to be true to ourselves
than to lie and cheat our way through life.

Whenever we make a mistake, or hurt someone, than
let us say we are sorry all the way from the heart.
Remember it takes a special person to admit when they
are wrong.

Let us be careful in all that we say and all that we do.Always 
think twice before you do or say anything, than maybe you 
won't regret it one day. Remember my friend - to say that
you are sorry - it's all up to you...
