A brief poem about where we get them.

Make mistakes, don't wallow in it.

Pick yourself up, don't baptize with it

No parading around within your pen

wash yourself off, get clean again.

Make mistakes, we all do them.

Don't parade; learn through them.

A wrong is righted when we learn.

Not when flags are hung or bridges burned.

Make mistakes! Move on through them.

Grow to be better. Don't live in them.
