The Mind Can Be A Messy Place
Sometimes
We fail in our intentions
In the hopes of doing what is right
At the best of times
Our sentiments misplaced
At the worst of times
Kind words work their way into being rude words
Coming out the other side in a crude way
The cruelty in their subtlety
One may find
At the end of the day
All that is left for one to do
Concludes with a retreat by way of an apology

Author's Note
I am still regretting the mistake I made of having articulated myself in a manner that did not find the resonance that I was hoping for when the person instead politely reprimanded the misstep with evident disapproval.

I know that feeling... sometimes the best of intentions can come across in a bad way and muck everything up. Nice writing, Laluma, and welcome to DUP!

Cheryl?.. dear one; darling, however, it is a beautiful English name, sir

CherryLoveNotes sounds much better
I didn't mean to mess up your name I should have copied and pasted it instead of writing it out.
I definitely got the message, Ma'am. Cherry is a beautiful English name.

Thank you, however, the true meaning of the name, Cheryl never sounded less gracious as an error, sir

We have the opportunity to improve ourselves after mistakes that we make and as long as we do that, something good comes out of it and as we age we get more thoughtful and kinder. Goodness knows, i need improving.
Lovely poem
