Array ( [sid] => 151768 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => SORRY! [time] => 2009-07-28 12:28:11 [hometext] => A magic word that can open or re-open a door for communication. And, I wish that it would. [bodytext] => Sorry!
Ed Iacona

The phrase 'I'm Sorry' you may agree
Has turned into a social amenity
We say 'I'm Sorry' more than Brenda Lee
Which was a hit song for her back in 1960.

You may not want to acknowledge the damage you've done
The pain that you've brought to spouse, daughter or son.
But if you've done wrong you must see the light
To take a pro-active step to returning things right

There will remain feelings that you can't erase
Lost time and memories that you can't replace
Because of your actions now nothings the same
Take a look in your mirror and know that there's blame.

Maybe those words are one's you won't do.
They may not exist in your "new age" point of view.
Or, don't want to hear the anger, it might make you blue
It's easier to leave your loved ones hurt and askew.

Just saying I'm sorry is not all it takes
No magical words to make gone the mistakes
Begin the road back with those words from your heart
They do not mark the end but maybe a start.

Your family's your bond like no other glue.
A great family we had, can we renew?
Deep in your heart you know what to do.
If I can say, 'I'm sorry', then I think you can too.

Very nicely written. I like the message about how people don't seem to show any responsbility for their actions any more. I hope this person does the right thing in your life. Great write full of emotion.

I totally agree.How many times has the lack of saying sorry led to family feuds that have caused rifts never to be repaired.
I've seen it first hand, simple words but too often overlooked

This is awsome!

"You may not want to acknowledge the damage you've done
The pain that you've brought to spouse, daughter or son."

That should connect with a lot of people!
