Only Human

As it becomes dawn, the sun brings rays of gold,  
We wander through moments, both timid and bold.  
Mistakes, like leaves, fall softly from trees,  
A whisper of lessons carried on the breeze.  

No shame in stumbles, no guilt in the fall,  
Each misstep a heartbeat, a lesson for all.  
With every miscalculation, a story unfolds,  
The beauty of growth, more precious than gold.  

Perfection, a mirage, a fleeting sweet lie,  
While fulfillment awaits in the truths we untie.  
We wander through shadows, embrace the unknown,  
In the messiness of life, our spirits have grown.  

Let us dance freely, with joy as our guide,  
In the arms of our failures, just keep your pride.  
For the essence of living lies not in the score,  
But in heartfelt connections that open each door.  

To live is to stumble, to rise and to learn,  
In the flicker of life, let the passion still burn.  
With each twist and turn, we may falter and sway,  
But it's the journey that matters— this is the way.
