Even the Mistakes

so hard to see me
the inside is not out
the trials and sorrows hidden
respect gained the hard way
never the easy way, no

a reverence for wit
an easy kindness gifted
deep set eyes shining
full of affection ever

before the love
comes the like
but I love

love all
even mistakes

love

This is a great poem Debbie; We all make mistakes. When we learn to love them - it's because we have learned from them. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla

'Debbie, I love your message here. But is it ok to do by word number instead of syllable count? I hope I got the rules right on this form! Let me see your other one now.
