Lift This Barrier Between Us
Welcome to my blog. I’m a psychologist and the co-author (with Gary Chapman) of When Sorry Isn’t Enough. I share tips about What to Say When challenging conversations arise. In a departure from my usual advice, today I’m sharing an apology poem written by yours truly. I’ll check back in frequently to chime in on the conversation here.
Please tell me you are sorry,
As it helps me know you care about my feelings.
Please admit you were wrong,
As it lifts my heart when you accept the blame.
Please show me how you’ll fully restore me,
As I was afraid things would never be right again.
Please commit to make changes that will prevent this from happening again,
As I can only feel secure in the future when I know how the past won’t be repeated.
Please ask me for the gift of my forgiveness,
As it can open the door to healing our relationship.
