Apologies Unheard

If you have wronged someone in your life, it’s important to make amends as soon as you can, because there will be a world of regret if that person passes, and your apologies go unheard/

There are no words to describe,

How much I am apologetic.

I regret all those times,

I made you feel worthless and disrespected.

I know it might be a little too late,

And I sound real pathetic.

But it took me a long time to realize,

How I made you feel alone and neglected.

I was a blind fool,

Being lead by my own selfish ambitions,

I always said I’d make it up to you,

And you continued to wait for my attrition.

But I kept doing me,

Cause I never really understood your position.

I just thought you were being dramatic,

And overacting your unhealthy condition.

If I had knew then,

That my apologies would now go unheard,

I would never have spoken to you,

In so many unkind words.

Now I’m on my knees,

Looking completely absurd,

Speaking to your tombstone,

Cause your death occurred.

Now all I can think,

Is that you died of a broken heart,

And this all could have been prevented,

If I had been a little smart.

I condemned your soul,

And tore your world all apart.

I should have appreciated you,

Right from the start.

A word of apology soothes the heart of the person we wronged. That action shows that we are ready to make amends and in good relationship to other people.

apology will hold the peace.

Whom ever it was that you may have wronged probably knew all you,re saying now anyway for themselves and was only hoping for you to realize it for yourself .So your apology now makes their wish complete so now they can hover free of whatever unresolved happening your talking about .

I think we are all guilty of this at times. Thanks for sharing your story…

Wow, what a beautiful piece. I just reflected this morning on how I treated my grandmother just days before she passed because of my lack of patience. She has heard my apology. God Bless!

if we erased the words sorry from our vocabularies we won’t make mistakes that would make us be sorry, and ask for forgiveness… for me sorry ain’t a word i like
