I’m sorry
Isn’t hard to say.
It’s easy.
I said it twice yesterday
And once, so far, today.
It’s easy.
The hardest part is reaching
To the place where
You know you’re way off mark.
Not easy.
To decide to rectify
What you’ve done wrong.
Not easy.
To judge yourself
And find the faults,
Not easy.
To resist
Justifying words and acts,
Not easy.
I’m sorry
Isn’t hard to say
Once sorrowful
Has found its sway.
So easy.
I’m hoping that
No more today
I’ll have cause
To have to say
I’m sorry.
But, if I do,
Be rest assured
I’ll swallow
Pride
And reassure
The one to whom
I have caused
Offence.
So easy.
To see
Relief
Within their eyes
And know that
I have realised
I was wrong.
