Mistakes

In this life Iv made mistakes,
though I still carry on no matter what it takes.
Sometimes it's hard to do what's right,
out of reach or out of sight.
Still I know what I must do,
be open minded with a heart that's true.
Try new things,
untie those strings,
Don't fall apart,
always fallow your heart.
In time you'll see just what I mean,
wipe that slate completely clean.
Start again no matter how many times it takes,
it's still ok as long as you learn from those mistakes.

a great poem, so humbly written from the bottom of your heart, God is a forgiving God and he always lets us start a fresh when we fall, he picks us back up, he knows we don't always get it right but with his help we will get better as we go along lifes' journey walking and talking with him, God bless you from diane
