another mistake

on conversations with a dear friend

I can't say I won't
repeat
the same mistakes
I did before,
but hopefully,
and with a little luck,
they won't be the
same
anymore.

Nice short poem and to the point! Hopefully our mistakes won't be the same anymore and we will learn our lessons.

[Lyn Anderson]

yes, that is the hope.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

They say we learn from our mistakes, but sometimes I know I have repeated the same one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Not exactly the same, but certainly, some things are harder than others not to.

[Madalyn Beck]

Everything happens for a reason. Just keep your head high and focus on what you want and deserve. It will turn out if you stay positive. xo :)

[Lyn Anderson]

That is true, I am sure. For now I am just spending time avoiding pit falls if I can ...

[Muse]

I once told a friend that repeating a past mistake is a transgression against the soul. We are meant to learn...rise...and to overcome.

[Lyn Anderson]

Here's hoping not up for a threepete

[Trace]

It's true
we learn from our mistakes

But we are human
we will do it again
hoping for a different outcome...

(example --- DIVORCE)

Guilty x 2. Anyone looking to be ex number three? Lol!

[Trace]

Been married three times myself.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha ha. So glad I am not alone in my double divorce.

Short and sweet. Such truth to these words.. We all make mistakes, hopefully we take the lessons from them and learn enough not to make the same ones twice... I love the way you constructed this simple, but powerful piece. .. very nice.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks a lot. Just a thought.

[AprilRN1210]

You're welcome..

Nicely stated Kl. Sometimes we repeat things in our life but we do it with a new perspective.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for perusing. Why am I still up?

[ron]

You are most welcome.
I don't know...why are you still up? ;)) But we are glad you are.

[Frieda P]

Sometimes we need to make the same mistake more than once so it really sticks out in our brain and screams DANGER the next time it arises. Aptly pen''d.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, this is true. Thanks for stopping by.:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nicely done....we do make similar errors...but hopefully not the exact same ones..

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you as always.

[Yolanda Alt]

Pure honestly..well put..

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much.
