For Our Mistakes In One Way Or The Other Poem by Francis Duggan

For our mistakes in one way or the other we pay
But from life we do learn a little every day
Many good friendships due to money have not been known to last
And such a bond from once severed can become a thing of the past
When in one way we give in another we gain
But for as long as the gift of memory we retain
The facts tell us so and facts never lie
That we never stop learning till the day that we die
The theory of a Universal Karma seems authentic to me
Though with such an assumption many may not agree
The way we treat others in good or bad Karma becomes our due
I only say here what i think to be true
Your ideas on this may be different to mine
But that is your business and that suits me fine.
