A Scotsman’s Word I’ve wronged you very badly, So now I have to be Man enough to tell you so, And do it publicly. It’s bad enough when rudeness Offends another’s mind. I gave an insult to your spirit, That’s the cruelest kind. Because my thoughtless words Have left me so in debt, I’ll only ask you to forgive; I dare not say forget. In time, I hope I can erase The anger I’ve incurred; And I’ll never treat you so again, You have a Scotsman’s word. And I hope it’s enough. I hurt ye lass, and I want to make it up. I can’t guarantee I’ll never give hurt again, but if I do it won’t be this hurt, and it won’t be for lack of consideration. No need to brag what it was, you know and I know, and that’s enough. Sincerely, Jamie [This message has been edited by James_A_Fraser (11-20-2003 07:23 PM).] |

Aye, Jamie~ You are a gentleman of the nth degree~ True apology graciously accepted and now, forward into friendship~ Thank you for this ... more than you can know~ This little Cherokee Spirit *hugs* you~  *Huglets* ~*WillowWhiteFeather*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

I don't know which is lovelier... the apology or the acceptance... I just know that this thread touches me deeply... and that two poets I admire greatly have once again shown a tremendous amount of class. *S* |

I’ve wronged you very badly, So now I have to be Man enough to tell you so, wouldn't it be a much better world, if everyone felt like this, and openly admitted to who they are, what they've done, and really felt humbled and sorry for what they've done....it would vine honesty and a desire to see others succeed, wouldn't it? Astounding poem, very warmly enjoyed. |
