We learn from our mistakes some are known to say <br />But for our every mistake there is some price to pay <br />And i must be slow witted for i can recall <br />That from my past mistakes I've not learned at all <br />But my type of person 'twould seem is not rare <br />And plenty more like me in the big World out there <br />Some are quick witted and learn rather fast <br />Whilst others keep repeating mistakes of the past <br />We should learn from our mistakes when all is said and done <br />Though some never learn and of those i am one <br />And each mistake we make not good for our self esteem <br />But to err is to be human or so it does seem <br />And that we learn from our past to all does not apply <br />And why some repeat their mistakes i do wonder why?<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-learn-from-our-mistakes/
