Mistakes, we’ve all made them,
Some small, some big, some grand.
But the ones that hurt the deepest,
Are the ones we can’t take back.

Words spoken in anger,
Actions taken in haste,
Both can leave a scar that festers,
Long after the storm has passed.

We try to apologize,
To make things right again,
But sometimes the damage is done,
And the pain remains.

So let us be mindful,
Of the words we say and deeds we do.
For once they’re out in the world,
We can’t take them back, it’s true.

But though we may regret our mistakes,
They can also teach us valuable lessons.
They can help us grow and learn,
And become better versions of ourselves.

So let us not dwell on our past mistakes,
But rather use them to guide our future way.
For even though we can’t take them back,
We can choose to learn from them,
And move forward with grace.
