Sorry

Sorry is a silly word, It means nought much to me. If you feel sad about a thing you do, There is a remedy. Just change behaviour that causes you, To feel remorse and grief. I promise you, that ultimately, Tis the only way to find relief. I cannot say your actions, Make me sad, or blue, It seems the one most affected, Is, dear one, just you. So if you do something, Or imagine you did, That may cause you to feel blue, Change your ways, or continue as you are, The choice is up to you. If ever I feel slighted, By something you have said, or done, It doesnt take long for me to remember, You are not the only one. How many times has it been, I am guilty of this shortcoming too We are, human, and often we all err, So, change is what we all should do. If that burden of change is hard, or impossible, What alternatives do we find? Maybe stay the person that we are, Hoping friendship is blind. Friends should not be judgemental, Try to change things they dont like in what they see. Why, did they offer friendship in the first place, If objective is to change things in you, or me? I accept you as you are, So, please dont say sorry, so much to me, If your actions bother you so much, Only you hold the key to the remedy I love you just the way you are.
