In life we all make mistakes,
Don’t carry them around,
Don’t carry them around with you.
Each one you make place them,
Place them under your feet
And then you can use them,
Use them as stepping stones,
So you can rise above them
And move into that place,
That better place,
That better place you deserve
By using those mistakes,
Using them as experience
Because experience cannot be taught
It can only be learned,
Learned by your experience,
Your experience in life.

Sage words indeed & consequently entirely write .. Neville
Beautiful wisdom, and something we should all do, none of us are perfect, but learning is also growing. 🌹
Good write Gold.
A great metaphor that works so well poetically. Nicely done
