Poetry: Mistakes
We've all made a mistake or two
Or done something we're ashamed of
Afterward, we wonder what to do
Is it something we can take care of?
We beat ourselves up all black and blue
Should we acknowledge our mistakes?
Should we admit them and to ourselves be true?
Can we do whatever it takes to fix those bad breaks?
If we've offended foes or friends
We must make amends
It is only fair to fix an err
To lay our hearts open and bare
To identify from our own lips
Our mistakes and slips
Speak out loud and be not proud
Say, "I'm sorry" to the offended crowd
Speak from the heart loud and clear
So that they may know you are sincere
Make amends and turn a foe into a friend
For each apology made a heart will mend

That I saw that warm smile on your face
How long was it ago
That you left
To Err
To err is human,
to forgive divine
But why do the errs
always have to be mine?
It's hard to be perfect
right all the time

by Olive Lewis
Just a mistake waiting to happen,
I was conceived in the heat of passion.
I don't know why I came to this earth,
Or why I was
Love contains none of its mistakes as fakes,
to be left still all undone in you.
A mistake is only an illusion of fear still
