Harsh Words and Lost Time Can Be Turned to Gold

Neither harsh words,

Nor lost time, can ever be retrieved

However, there is something we can do

To mend our ways and tension will be relieved.

Sometimes it’s hard, the words to say

“I’m sorry, please forgive me,”

For saying them and wasting time

They go together, as you can see.

I hope that now we can again be friends

Just like days of old

As you know, old friendships,

Eventually turn to gold!
