Another slip of the lip

An accidental breach of code

A sincere apology straight from a repentive heart.

Even if you didn’t ask for it I offer it unconditionally.

I don’t plead for forgiveness.

All I want is for you to open your heart so my honest offering can enter.

I want to feel big today whether you accept it or not.

Saying sorry will only make me humble and encourage my spirit to give more.

Cheers.

We tend to forget about little things like saying sorry or showing gratitude. They mean a lot as you well know.
