Life Is An Apology Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life Is An Apology



Forgiving attitudes fill the air with their pity,
sending apologies into depths of unending prayer.

No one ever means to hurt, it just happens, because
people don't think before they open their mouths to
speak.

Whatever the quest might be, it will always involve
self and have no room for others, being selfishness
itself.

Standing at the doorway to the rest of life, looking
ahead, seeing it as just one big apology, forgiveness
waiting at it's end.

As we don't mean to hurt, an apology is a request for forgiveness. What would it be if we meant it?

I can't help thinking this is a reply to my 'Knowing Why'. RoseAnn
