The Best Mistake

You made the mistake and now,

Your afraid to face this day.

Your thoughts are racing through

And through

You wonder if your family looks at

You as a disgrace, but your mother

Takes you and reassures, your very

Much loved in grace.

Even though your much to young

For this breathing little thing this

Has become.

You couldn’t just throw it out

Like it was a piece of trash.

So you grow up and take the

Path that led you to your best

Mistake for years to come.
