Mistakes

You’ve made them so often,

They cannot be counted,

Some good and some bad,

And even some sad,

But don’t let them take you down,

Don’t let them stop you,

Break you or burn you,

Let me give an example…

The tranquil lover,

About to say I love you,

Remembers his first kiss,

Which ended in disaster,

The one he loved did not love him,

He went way too fast,

So now he stops and thinks,

Am I doing that now?

His relationship is saved.

Mistakes aren’t failures,

They’re lessons,

Without them where would you be?

Disasters are times for rebuilding,

Renovating your life,

Turning the bad to the good,

Mending your life as you would.

Mistakes made once,

Shouldn’t happen again,

Made more than twice,

You gain more advice,

If you learn from them,

You’ll be amazed in the end,

If you learn from them,

Your life you can mend.
