Forgive, even when your heart’s been broken
Think before each word is spoken
Regard not the ugly people say
End not your day in trifling dismay
Be the first to say: “I’m sorry”
You won’t live your days in worry
Don’t forget to say: “I love you”
And prove always this is true
Then when kiss of death falls on your lips
And all of life before you slips
When you glance back on the last moments of time
Over the valleys you walked and the mountains you climbed
Your heart will find rest, forever satisfied
Embracing the moment past with present and future collide
Then when life’s final breath you doth exhale
Your soul shall peacefully go to the forever-after vale

Good advice from beginning to end. I especially like this line: “Be the first to say: “I’m sorry”. Only two words but so difficult for so many.
Could you imagine if just one half of 1% of the population followed these words? It would be a different place, that’s for sure!

Hi Michael. I like your perspective—if only 1%, it would definitely make our world a healthier more peaceful place. For anyone who really must have the final word, “I’m sorry” works perfectly. Thanks for stopping by and engaging. Cheers, Dee

Absolutely Shweta. And it starts with our thoughts. Intellectually i know the importance of managing my thoughts but often I let them derail me. So even as I write I’m talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you. Dee

Love this! So important not bare grudge, resentment and anger. The other person won’t so it only ruins your life and it’s never worth that.
