Lauda
All the things I should have said
All the times I should have said
Thank you
I love you
I’m sorry
Let me help
Yes, it’s me
Yes, it’s maudlin
Though it might be useful
I might be
Maybe I should wear motley like a fool
A reminder to step out of the folds
Of an otherwise fixed and unkind people
To say instead
I’m fragile
And I make mistakes
But I’m not done
To say instead
To act instead
Let me try

Sad one. But I hope you’ve the chance to try again. Forgiving means permitting a thousand I’m sorries.

Yeah, it is a sad song. Sometimes we get chances; sometimes we don’t. At least we can prepare for when we get the chance to try. Your wisdom about forgiveness is outstanding. Worth a thousand sorries–you’re right!
