Looking in the Mirror…

This morning I realised I say sorry far too much.
It’s time to change, take time for me.

Nothing else mattered
First my job, my clothes
Here I am, a whole new me.
After a few days, I looked at myself in the mirror.
The penny dropped, I had lost something special.
The person who is not afraid to say, ‘I’m sorry’…
