I’m Sorry
														My dear friend Salma,
														I have wronged you.
													
														Yet again,
														I have offended you.
														Although not my intent,
														my words hurt and turned you away.
													
														I hope you can forgive me.
														In spite of my sometimes cold and callous words,
														or careless unthinking remarks,
														I do care,
														very much.
													
														How can I take back what I have said
														when time only flows forward?
														Can I ever repair
														the wounds I caused?
													
														Will getting on my knees,
														or bowing with sincere chagrin,
														help heal your wounded heart?
													
														Please tell me what I must do,
														what it will take,
														to win back our special friendship.
													
														With my deepest sincerity,
														I beg,
														please forgive me.
													
														Michael A. Crane, Jr.
