“I am sorry”- sometimes the words ring hollow
Insincere is the apology, you think you know
The act shall be repeated in the future, soon maybe
You’ve made yourself believe that is a certainty
You withhold your forgiveness for another day
You are unconvinced of the sincerity anyway
*
You remember you have been on the other side too
Fervently apologizing, hoping your words sound as true
As they are, yet the person you are saying sorry to
Is finding it hard to trust and forgive you
You truly feel sorry, sincerity you try to show
That you are willing to change, you want them to know..
*
Apologies are given and received based on trust
Before you forgive someone, believe them you must
We are all human, we all make mistakes
It’s hard to know for certain if an apology is fake
We want to be believed when we apologize
To extend the same grace to others would be wise..
