Recently with the actions of a fool and words as harmfull as a snake's bite - I hurt a lot of people. I sent each of them the following. As a means of further cleansing my soul - I wish to share this with you. Thanks


                   AN APOLOGY

                 ----- & -----
                 ----- & -----
                 ----- & -----
                 Those who witnessed
                 Too many to recall

                 A hurt was felt
                 A bias perceived
                 Fueled by alcohol
                 An explosion created

                 I offer no excuses
                 There are not none
                 For a horrible deed
                 So willfully done

                 With a hurting heart and
                 Shamefull spirit
                 An APOLOGY
                 I do tender

                 Another chance
                 I do ask
                 To prove myself
                 Better than in the past
                 Your forgiveness
                 I seek
                 Your help
                 I request

                 Should you decide
                 Banishment is best
                 I'll understand
                 And will accept

NIAI - that you recognize the problem, accept the responsibility....

if you were my friend, and I received this from you, the very least I could do, is say,

"all is forgiven", and proceed on, arms linked, side by side....

as I have done it in the past, and will do so in the future....

Hate to admit how much I relate to this...if you meet again, do yourself and all a favor, leave the alcohol behind.  Fine write!

no doubt. . . I've found that scotch tastes better when shared with friends. . .

excellent words. . .
