Mistakes

Mistakes have been made

that led us to here

where we are

what we are doing

where we will go

and what we will do.


Mistakes have taught us

more than what we would

have learned on our own.


Each screwup

each stutter

each time you tripped over your own feet;

it led to this.


Each failure

each bad grade

each time you wanted to unsay certain words;

it all led you to here.

Where we are

and who

we will

become.
