Failure and mistakes are part
And parcel of our daily life
Though they times puzzle us
How we deal with them
Is indeed a key component
In choosing how to complete
The life's jigsaw puzzle
When failure and mistake happen
Times we'll hide this scar piece
Of the jigsaw in fear and self denial
And opt for an incomplete life
Filled with disquiet and dismay
Putting our own destiny and peace
To chains of ignorance by choice
When failure and mistake happen
Times we will in humbleness of heart
And the courage of character
Face the truth and reality head on
Though the experience be so tearful
We gain the piece plus the lessons
And complete the jigsaw in peace
Failure and mistakes are part
And parcel of our daily life
They are life prunes we must accept
Though they often break our core
They always leave us wiser than before
Great wisdom is in the core of the how
We deal with them when us they befall
And parcel of our daily life
