The hardest words to say must be: "I'm Sorry"... They never seem to flow like all the rest... They break my aching heart.. They make the crying start.. They put my pride through every stupid test... I stand before you just to say: "I'm Sorry"... I really am, to me it's not a game... Though I don't know you well... I was hoping time would tell... And you might want my friendship just the same... Now all I have to offer is: "I'm Sorry"... I'll miss your tenderness and heart so true... If ever there should be... A time when you need me... I'll be here waiting, Just to help you through... I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

This was very nice. Sorry is so hard to say. Everything I read from you......as emotional as it can be, you always seem to make me smile in the end.....a heartfelt smile. Thank You Jenn E |

The hardest words to say must be: "I'm Sorry"... They never seem to flow like all the rest... They break my aching heart.. They make the crying start.. They put my pride through every stupid test... =================== this poem reads so smooth and is even melodic...even more so read aloud you did a great job on the rhyme and flow and the expression of emotions is perfect as well enjoyed this read take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

this one, sunny1, although i enjoyed the poem... i don't really identify with it... to me, "i'm sorry" are probably two words i say more often than i should...the two easiest words to say... i apologize for everything... i apologize when i'm not wrong, just to bring peace... i say i'm sorry when it's raining if someone hates rain... i say i'm sorry to a person who has hurt me, just to let them know i forgive them... i apologize when mcdonald's forgets the ketchup... i'd probably apologize for death, if anyone would listen... i figure, there's only two things you can expect out of life.... getting some decent poetry out of it and a good apology thanks for the read and taking me through this thought process |

jm... I'm glad that you came by and read this. I like and need the input of the greats on this site, and you on that list. Thank you.....sincerely..... Claire... Sometimes candor is the only way I have of keeping myself in line.... I'm a clown at heart, but even clowns make mistakes!! Thank you, my friend!! Salooma... Yes, there are things that are easily taken for granted, but friends shouldn't be one of them. I appreciate your reading this! doreen... Yes, I really enjoy your replies, and it's ok to disagree...fact is, that helps me get a different view!! I can teach you some words to use at places like McDonalds if you want, but I can't post them here!!! Hey, you can feel free to bounce thoughts off of me anytime..... I just might do the same!!!! Thank you for stopping by!! I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

Hey Sunny how are you....I'M SORRY I did'nt post a reply sooner, whoops, well you know what I mean. Great poem you put it together so well and expressed how those two words are extremely difficult to say sometimes. My wife said to me one time.."the two hardest things to say are I love you and I'm sorry." I immediately answered her by saying, "no they're not dear just listen....I'm sorry I love you!" |

ethome... Do you now carry a permanent dent in your forehead from where your wife bashed you a good one?!!!! (Poets have been known to be short-lived!!!) Seriously, I thank you for your reply and just glad you stopped by, no matter what time it is!!!! I have but one goal in life......... To make you smile! ~~ Sunny ~~ |

I'm with doreen peri - in that I find those 'sorry' words easy - rather I find them easier than not saying them to be precise. - That said - I still loved your poem. |

Sunny Love your poem. Sorry, when said from the heart, can be worth a million. Men seem to have a harder time than women, but when said from the heart ............ |

Sometimes these words are hard to say and mostly when it comes to one you love they just don't seem to be good enough...Your poem has taken that away and says volumes with class and style. Now all I have to offer is: "I'm Sorry"... I'll miss your tenderness and heart so true... If ever there should be... A time when you need me... I'll be here waiting, Just to help you through... Loved the read. |

Hello vandana.... Thank you for bringing this one back. I truly believe those two little words are really the hardest, maybe because a person has to lower their pride, and admit they're wrong! I really am glad you liked this! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Sunny1 - how ARE you today? Seems to me you've always got so many things to say... You paint lovely pictures the whole world wants to see but then you take a moment to say I'm so sorry... Don't worry little Sunny1 we're all here for you, we admire your true spirit we're so in love with you! *** Hello my friend... I see your muse is shining bright through the day into the night no one knows, but just we two our passion is what sees us through. You've done wondrous things my heart is full of song and to think that I might fit a bit and in your world, belong! Hugs, my friend... |

I enjoyed your reply, as I always do, as it feeds my muse and causes a smile to form. Thank you, my very good friend!!!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

This was beautiful Sunny ... such wonderful sentiments and a perfect message to someone whose forgiveness your must cherish so. For only 5 letters, sorry is one of the most important words in the dictionary when expressed from the heart ... and you've done so beautifully. Best wishes, /Kit |

Hello Sunny, You are so right, "I'm sorry" is so very hard to say. But perhaps sometimes, it is words that can't come out. Best to you. |

so right on here sunny1. I really loved this poem. I know for me it's three of the hardest words I can say. But until I say I'm sorry I am always the one that feels terrible. |

Hello Kit..... Yes, those words are the hardest. I think it's just really hard to admit when you're wrong! Thank you for reading!!! Hi Bill.... Sometimes it is so much better to show someone....depends, I guess. Thank you for stopping by! Hello Rosebud.... Yes, I always feel bad, too, if I know I hurt someone by my careless words. Thank you, also! Hi Sunshine.... I think we learn from each other, and that is as it should be!! I love to see your replies.... Hugs to you, lil' sis!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Hi Sunny, Once again a piece of work so well done and it lookes to me your, "I'm Sorry" was said better than the two actual words could just be spoken. As always, you always find the words. You have a gift...Sunny. Sauni Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |
