Just A Word (Poem)

Yesterday is just a word after it has come and gone

The same with something you might have said can never be undone

An apology seems to help but will never remove the sting

When something in anger has been said before you stop to think

As we travel done the road of life and face the bumps and bruises

Isn’t it strange that once they’ve healed do we ever remember the intrusion

But it is not so with the hurtful words that have been expressed in anger

Stitches cannot repair a heart that’s been cut with an emotional dagger

From time to time in our life anger and rage will occur

But first take it out on a pillow before a friendship becomes a blur

For words that are spoken in anger can leave things undone

Remember, friendship is just a word after it has come and gone
