A Call to Healing

I’m sorry, I meant to wait
Until you called, a little late.
But the weight began to climb,
No one here to share the time.

I reached out, unsure if you’d be there,
Hoping you’d return, beyond despair.
I didn’t want to see another face,
It felt so wrong in this lonely space.

Fortunately, you answered my plea,
An appointment set, a chance to be free.
With apologies shared, may healing start,
A journey together to mend the heart.

The Stormy Storefront

Your three words today are:
SORRY
STORE
STORM

In a store, a sign read “Sorry,”
As winds blew in quite a flurry.
The storm raged outside,
While folks tried to hide,
Yet laughter was heard in the hurry.
