In Praise of Mistakes

Errors, slips, cock-ups, mistakes -

the glory of inglorious failures

which say I'm alive

trying, living, risking, giving

with a busy life and a

fizzy spirit and a

dizzy mind,

it's whizz bang whoops.

There goes another one.

If no-one gets hurt

I give myself permission to make more.

 

Well, that's my mistakes.

Yours are another matter.

Yes, I like the ending, much easier to forgive oneself than others. Just a minor thing but it might be nice to end the first line on "errors", errors/failures - an almost rhyme.
