Mistakes by Artsieladie

Mistakes, we all make them, Not one of us is exempt For not one of us is perfect, Even with our best attempt. Mistakes, making them, Are a part of everyone's life, Through our times of joy, As well, our times of strife. Mistakes are a fact of life, A reality all must recognise. Unrealistic we are being, If we're thinking otherwise. Mistakes are teaching tools. It's important that we know Acknowledgment of's essential To learn from them, to grow. Mistakes, when we make them, We feel guilt and shame, But these feelings only linger, If on others, we lay the blame. Mistakes, in our character Play a major, key role In maintaining a humble heart, Preserving worthiness of soul. Mistakes, we all make them But only those who are wise Acknowledge their Mistakes To right and for, do apologise. Mistakes, since we all make them, We are obliged to keep in mind, To be much more understanding, Forgiving, compassionate, and kind. "Mistakes, when others make them, We must remember FIRST our own, For a rush to judgment's cancelled, When to throw, we have no stone."
