  1. Mistakes Made
    Poet: Julie Hebert

    Accidents are made, whether we want them or not,
    And sometimes it hurts so much, running away is our first thought.

    We sit and think and ponder about all the what ifs.
    The guilt takes us over and walks us off a mental cliff.

    We need to stop and remember, mistakes are part of the game.
    If you can learn from them, then there is no shame.

    Human beings are not perfect, and were never created to be.
    Growing up no matter your age, you will forever be a trainee.

    So cut yourself some slack, and thank God no one got hurt.
    Next time you're in this position, you'll be much more alert.

    And don't forget to forgive yourself, you can't change what's already happened.
    But you can look to your future, be courageous, and reconditioned.



  2. We All Do
    Poet: C. A. Pulsifer

    So you made a mistake
    We all do!
    What's important is what's at stake
    Remember mistakes teach you.

    Learn from it what you can
    If you can fix it then do so
    Or you can make a plan
    So next time you know.

    Don't beat yourself up
    Remember the lesson
    Move on, stand up
    Mistakes are one thing we all have in common.

    You are not the first,
    And certainly not the last
    There is always something worse
    Leave mistakes in the past.

  4. No One Is Perfect
    Poet: C. A. Lynch

    No one is perfect, not even you
    Don't let a mistake made, make you blue.
    A mistake is not a failure, it is a learning tool
    It is what is referred to as life's school.
    So keep your chin up, move forward
    Don't let the mistake make you feel awkward.



  5. Don't Quit
    Poet: C. A. Pulsifer

    You made a mistake and now you want to quit
    You feel like you could run, or just split
    But running away fixes nothing
    Only more trouble will it bring.

    Take action, fix the mistake, if you can
    Making mistakes, no one is a fan
    But we all make them and survive them we do
    No one is any different than you.



  6. The Choices We Make
    Poet: C. A. Lynch

    Choices unfold, each and every day,
    Each one impacts us in different ways.
    Sometimes we choose and make a mistake
    Oh, the choices we make.

    Shattered and broken, we may choose to be,
    Letting failures consume us, destroying our glee.
    Yet, within the fragments, an option awaits,
    We realize the mistake doesn't determine our fate.

    Mistakes, the teacher cloaked in disguise,
    When we learn from them that is where wisdom lies.
    For every mistake we have a chance to rise,
    To show resilience and to learn from the wise.

    It's not the errors, the missteps we take,
    But how we transform them, for our own sake.
    From ashes, we gather strength to rebuild,
    Embracing the lessons, our spirits fulfilled.



  7. Mistakes Are A Teacher
    Poet: C. A. Lynch

    Boldly stepping, we make choices,
    Gathering our courage of which we have no shortage.
    Mistakes are a teacher, our guide on life's path,
    Indicating the directions we’re to go in and where to avoid.

    Our success stories don't come untried and untrue,
    We must face mistakes and learn they have value.
    Markers teaching us resilience as our life unfolds,
    Providing reminders for us to behold.

  9. A Chance To Learn
    Poet: C. A. Lynch

    For every mistake that we make,
    A chance to learn and grow is at stake.
    This is a lesson not lightly earned,
    But we move on with pride and discerned.

    Rising above the mistake that held us down,
    The will, the strength to stand our ground.
    Learning from blunders we have done,
    With new knowledge, the battle is half won.



  10. Some men make the mistake of thinking they can never make one. Edgar A. Guest

  11. When Mistakes Are Made
    Poet: C. A. Lynch

    When mistakes are made it's hard to dignify
    We’re all too quick to judge and criticize.
    But blame's a shadow of insecurities,
    So let our mistakes become learning opportunities.

    Rather than slamming shut that heavy door
    We can try, instead, to explore.
    The gift mistakes bring deep inside –
    Opening our eyes, helping us find ways to realize.

    The inner courage to start again
    To gather our strength and regain
    Mistakes can teach us so much
    If we apply the new knowledge as such.
