I apologize

for not being there sooner
for not holding you aloft
for not offering a sip of clean water
for not comforting you sooner

and I just want you to know

I am sorry,
and I apologize

for my human frailties and inadequacies

but you see

I too, was overwhelmed

paralyzed with fear and dismay
and so it took more than one day
for my butt to get in gear

but now I am here
for you,
hoping I am not too late

Kacy, I feel the same way and I'm sure many others do too

things are just so huge sometimes, one needs a little time to get a grip on the situation... some things I do understand, some things I don't...

but I don't want to ramble on your thread, so I'll just leave it at that

Thank you for so nicely explaining and asking for forgiveness for those of us who ~~~~  

Also know our moves are sometimes slow, because our minds are full of someone else’s needs. It does not mean we have forgotten any who are in distress and feeling blue.
          best to you, martyjo

littlewing, thanks,I guess I worded this wrong..

I have also sinned in this way,
And will not bend to pick up stones.
So I am casting only flower petals at your feet
Knowing your road is hard,
And that you need something soft
To move forward on.

this is so nice

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

No helping hand is ever too late because in life if it's not one thing then it's another.  Even sharing another's pain emotionally could be halving it until the time is right for action ... but apologies are always good for the soul.

Littlewing said it best.  Well said, Kacy!!  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
