This was written by my niece. I thought it was quite profound for one so young. You see it exactly as she sent it to me.
Mistakes: by Lara Schaaf

       Mistakes are dreadful things that happen all the time

They happen when you least expect,

        When they hurt most.

The truth of them is you never know when they will happen.

         They hurt

They are painful

          And make me cry

Sympathy I am not looking for

          Forgiveness is all.

For the next mistake I make

           Could make me fear for the rest of my life.
