For Our Every Mistake Poem by Francis Duggan

Of life the more we do learn the more we come to realize
That we do know so little this not a surprise
New lessons for us for to learn every day
That we never stop learning does seem true to say
For our every mistake in life some price to pay
This is how it is life works in this way
We learn as we live and we live to regret
And the lessons that cost us we ought not forget
We can only live to be the best we can be
In this respect anyone else should not be any different to you and to me
If you wish to become one of the materially wealthy of the town
On your climb to the top do not drag others down
In life any act of kindness to another is never too small
And a fair go to some is not a fair go to all.
