Making a Mistake
When you make a mistake,
Think of what is at stake
And decide if it can be undone;
Then the steps that you take
Might just give you a break
And proceed like you’ve only begun.
If your goof’s set in stone
And your chances are blown
To repair any damage you’ve caused,
Suck it up, for it’s known
To mistakes we are prone,
So your life doesn’t need to be paused.
You might feel like a fool
And expect ridicule,
But it’s human to err, goes the line;
Let your anguish unspool
And just try to be cool
For forgiving, it’s said, is divine.
