I'M Sorry Poem by jackie compton

For things I might have said to you
In anger or frustration,
For times when words of mines have bee
A source of provocation.
... I 'm sorry

For unkind actions, thoughtless deeds
Or in consideration,
For jumping to conclusions.
For rejecting moderation,
... I'm sorry

For timely things I haven't done,
Forgetting or omitting,
For knowing sometimes I was wrong
Without, in fact, admitting,
... I'm sorry

For conversations we have had
When temper stole affection,
For looking in a negative,
Not a positive, direction,
... I'm sorry

For being too insensitive
And just a bit unwise,
For failing to perceive the need
For loving compromise,
.. I'm sorry
