TIME TO SAY I’M SORRY
Do you feel you must really say sorry,
Or are you flippant, don’t give it much worry,
Do you feel out of obligation you must
Say sorry, believe me, that’s not very brainy,
Does your heart want to break if you don’t,
Or do you simply think, why should I, I won’t,
Have you been taught as a child to regret
Do others feel bad, as this idea you reject,
Try to never let sorry linger,
And have a blaming finger
Pointed at you, do you maybe
Have a secret to share,
But think, how would I dare,
Have you have had an affair as you could
Not resist temptation,
Then my friend you surely need redemption,
Are you not able to sleep at night,
Feeling guilty,
Are your parents to blame, did
They not give you a much needed
Loving home with stability,
One needs this this caring and sharing,
Otherwise making any decision
Becomes somewhat blurred,
Maybe to others you have been unkind,
Remember that night you forgot to feed
Your blind dog Lassie,
And in a moment of anger triggered by guilt,
You swore at your neighbour next door,
Or stole money from your best friend
And hid it under your carpet tiles
On the floor,
Did not speak to your mom or maybe dad
For six months, and she or he cried,
As a little of them died,
But you were too stubborn and too angry
To end this disagreement,
They have all their life tried,
Good or bad you may think,
But always on your side.
Whatever you have done or said,
It is important that this drama should end,
Say sorry to those you have emotionally,
Hurt, and with your heart and soul, ask to be
Forgiven, cuddle and love your blind dog,
Do all of this during today or tonight
Before you go to sleep in your bed,
Experience a watershed moment,
Make your choice count,
For we have been given the gift of choice,
We have a free will and have been granted
Logic, our omnipresent God is ever so kind
But don’t let him loose his cool,
He knows who you are,
You know what to do, you are no fool.
