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.
