Mistakes Did God send us hear to make mistakes, To strive, to fail, to re-begin, To taste the tempting fruit of sin, And find what bitter food it makes, To miss the path, to go astray, To wander blindly in the night; But we search, praying for the light, Until at last we find the way. looking back along the past, We know we needed all the strain Of fear and doubt and strife and pain To make us value peace, at last. triumph is sweet for those who fail Who stumbles once, but then walks with care, We learn on error's troubled route, that there's room for making more mistakes.
