Errors

Everybody makes mistakes,
Even Derek Jeter.
Knowing that, your next home run
Will be all that much sweeter.

Maybe you’ve said something mean,
Reserved the wrong hotel;
No one’s perfect all the time,
As far as I can tell.

Perhaps you’ve lost your credit card,
Forgot a special date;
Just apologize and then,
Let self-hatred abate.

It doesn’t pay to beat yourself
For bobbling a ball.
Accept it – then just let it go;
Don’t make it your downfall.

Remember, every one of us
Must mess up now and then.
Enjoy the times you get it right,
‘Cause you’ll screw up again!
