Friendly Mistakes

My friend Marsha was in a car accident.
She paid a pretty penny for the car repair.
But Marsha decided there’s a reason they call it an accident.
So, she didn’t worry who’s fault it was or if it was fair.
She said, “I made a mistake, I learned from the mistake.
I changed the way I do things a bit and now my life is a little better because of it.”

My friend Linda was in a bad marriage
She unfortunately had married a jerk.
When he left her with debts and a broken toilet,
She had no regrets, found another guy and went back to work.
She said, “I made a mistake, I learned from the mistake.
I changed the way I do things a bit and now my life is a little better because of it.”

How could we ever learn, if we didn’t make a mistake once in a while?
Oh, how the mistake will burn when you forget to smile.
I am fortunate that I have friends, who show me,
A mistake is a wonderful opportunity to get to know me.

My friend Julie couldn’t find her keys
She had to pay a locksmith to get them replaced.
She made extra copies, hid them in rocks and under her fender,
While herself she embraced.
She said, “I made a mistake. I learned from the mistake.
I changed the way I do things a bit and now my life is a little better because of it.”
****
This song is dedicated to MARSHA who had a great attitude about her mistakes.
