A word so simple yet so grand,

With powers to make an enemy a friend.

A word which brings peace to pain,

I am sorry but this needs to be penned.

Ever wondered about its power, its magic,

Why does it always follow something tragic?

How would the world be if we spoke it often?

Maybe something better, I bet something fantastic.

Sorry is all it takes to make things alright.

Sorry is all it takes to end any fight.

Sorry is all it takes to bring peace and love,

Sorry is the simplest way to be kind and polite.

The lines above speak of a small and simple word,

Strange but true the word is scarcely ever heard.

Learn to say it when the time is right,

Sorry if you felt anything absurd.
