The Value of a Mistake
From some painful mistake somewhere in our past
A memory will plague us and help to attest
That action before us, the things that we do
May have consequences we don’t want them to.
The cost of education is expensive, you know,
And money is seldom the force of the blow.
Embarrassing moments keep us from repeating
Some major faux pas, though the blush was but fleeting
Or some terrible blunder that caused an uproar
Will not re-occur cause we tallied the score.
So cherish those moments when you discover an error
They’re lessons so precious, they haunt you forever.
