Open mouth and insert foot<\/span><\/p>\n

Something you wish you had never done<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to do, and hard to take back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Words can sting, and words can often hurt<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to say \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Someone punches you in the face.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you feel you should give a quick hit? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tempting to do, but will it be a quick fix? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bruises and scrapes take time to fade.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Hard to Say \u201cI\u2019m Sorry.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What if your rights were taken away?<\/span><\/p>\n

You have worked so hard,<\/span><\/p>\n

to be where you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one should stand in your way. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A smile could brighten the mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

A firm handshake is also good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe a gentle embrace would work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do it l\u2019ike you mean it, whatever you choose,<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s hard to say \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
