Passed Mistakes.

Goldfinch60



In our lives we all make them,

We make mistakes many times,

We may not know from where they come

But in our minds they send their chimes.

 

Going back in time we cannot do,

But using them to learn in life

Is the way that then you knew

To get to a place less rife.

 

Knowledge leads us to better ways

And to forgive ourselves each day

And to ourselves bring praise

To show us to that better way.

      Absolutely we do dearest Andy, nothing wrong with making mistakes it's how we learn and move on that counts 🌹

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Teddy, yes we need to learn from our mistakes.

        What a powerful message. How can we expect others to forgive us if we do not forgive ourselves and to do so we must learn not to commit those errors again and in some sense make up for what we did. Great words Andy

          Much appreciated soren, thank you.

          Our greatest of treasures lie in our trash heap and septic tanks; the errors, refuse and seemingly invaluable things and experiences are much fodder for learning, and lessons learnt well and indelibly. But we are taught the idea of getting it right the first time around. A true inspiration Andy! 👍🏻

          • Goldfinch60

            So true arqios, we must learn from the error of our ways. Thank you.

                  Another pearl of wisdom my friend. It's a thought I've been dwelling on a lot these days, coming to understand what those mistakes actually gave me. Thank you for the reminder, and for Gershwin's beautiful music.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Most kind Bella, thank you.
