Ode to mistakes

I know I made a mistake today.

but I really hope you understand.

I really didnt want to do this to you.

It wasn't like it was planned.

I'm not a perfect person,

but I know you are the same.

So why are we playing these games

always looking for someone to blame.

So why not blame the humanity

that resides within us all.

How about that

to take the fall.

I'm sincerely sorry if your hurt,

but I am human just like you.

So at the end of the day just let everything go.

What else can you really do?

Ode to my life

I have only one life.

And I must say its mighty fine.

Not because its always happy,

but because I get to call it mine.

I love to share with my friends,

but I get to keep this as my own.

And the best part of sharing this life

is that I am never alone.

It is a marvelous gift we have,

to say we have lived today.

It is a cycle of getting and giving,

nothing that is lost will ever stay that way.

With every life lost

a new one will be found.

And that makes living life

the best thing around.

Ode

An ode is a serious poem that has a set structure. It is written for a specific person, place, thing or occasion. Odes are pretty neat because you can write them about anything you want. Fun fact: many of Shakespeare's were made into plays.
