Mistakes
By Julie Haak

A little white lie may change your life
What starts as harmless could transform into a fight
Some things fade, some just grow
When it comes to mistakes who knows what time holds

*Some mistakes can be easily disguised
Some mistakes can be a fortunate surprise
Some mistakes can be erased like the answers on a paper
Some mistakes can be forgotten with a shake of hands and honest pardon
But some mistakes you live with everyday
Like a prisoner for life in the back of your brain

Mistakes can be opinions facts truths
That can work out for the best or make you a victim of your youth
They can teach you they can beat you, just another flaw of man,
You can only see inside yourself when mistakes make you understand
Make you understand

A life without mistakes is a life not lived
A life with too many reminds us how to forgive

Repeat *

Some mistakes can be a fortunate surprise
Some mistakes can be erased like the answers on a paper
Some mistakes can be forgotten with a shake of hands and honest pardon
But some mistakes you live with everyday
