Analysis of Mistakes
Ann Yaggie 1970 (Florida)
The mistakes we make can cause stress and strife
and everyone knows it can cut like a knife.
The pain and the tears, seems will go on for years
and turns the calmness into chaos and fears.
The mistakes we make and the trouble that comes turns you inside out and makes you feel numb.
You'll cry up to the sky and ask the Lord why
and feel that you really want to die.
But in the end, my friend, you will win, you'll be much wiser, and your heart will mend.
