Learning From Mistakes

Life is filled with choices And we pick the ones we get Though quite often we hear voices Filled with longing and regret. We cannot undo decisions That were carelessly selected For we’re not allowed revisions And must stick with those elected. Still, with much deliberation We can learn from our mistakes And provide defibrillation For the heart that nearly breaks. So, since time will keep advancing We must not let hope get lost. There may yet be cause for dancing If we keep our fingers crossed.
