Taking on Our Mistakes
That their lives had taken a different course
Caught up in the world of "what might have beens"
Their hearts are consumed with regret and remorse
Some choices do come back to haunt us
There are always consequences we must bear
But each mistake offers a lesson to behold
A lesson to absorb and a lesson to share
Some hide their mistakes from the world
Burying them in fear and shame
So worried that others will condemn their frailities
They shift responsibility and look to others to blame
We all have made decisions that in hindsight
We wish we could make go away
But we grow when we learn from each of our mistakes
And keep these lessons to use for another day

Boy isn't that the truth! If we didn't make mistakes and suffer failures, we wouldn't be grateful for our successes! Thanks Donna!
My mentor of 16 years once said, "If you're not making mistakes Bonnie, I know you're not working". This is a perfect reminder.
we are always works in progress, aren't we?
Well expressed, Donna. Thanks!
