Mistakes? Yeah, we all make them
Regrets? Yes! We all have them
But I’ll refuse to sweep my mistake under the carpet,
hoping it’ll fly away
Oh I’ll never revisit my regret,
thinking it’ll never go away..
For they only make the heart sick
Ah, regrets? They only make the soul weak
Even though mistakes are inevitable
I’ll make few of them
Even though regrets are part of life
I’ll not always dwell on them
For this life, I’ll live only once
Lo, to live right, I have only one chance
How then should I spend my days
repeating my mistakes?
Oh! Why then should I spend my nights
dwelling on my regrets?
Rather, I’ll rise up and be big
Yea, I’ll get up and be bold
For they say, yea so they say…
Mistake are part of life..
Even, regrets is amongst the living
But lo, a mistake made twice is a choice
Yea, a regret revisited is now guilt
So in life, diligence is the key
Oh while I live, committed I’ll be…
Committed to the course that makes sense
Diligent in the things of success
In this, mine mistakes will be few
In life, regrets will be far…
That my life may be productive
Yea, that mine fruits may be plentiful
Selah
Psalmist Seyi [December 2013]
