Vanessa Mosher's "Mistakes"
© March 2004 Vanessa Mosher
Mistakes. Many Mistakes.
Living your life through trial and error.
More error than trial.
No trial at all.
Just mistakes.
Mistakes that turn into masterpieces 
Mistakes that say “Mommy” 
Mistakes that wake you up at night.
And pee in the bed.
Mistakes that follow you around the house.
And look at you.
With blue eyes.
And your heart melts.
And it’s all because of a mistake.

Mistakes that grow up.
And scream “I hate you”
Mistakes that lie
And steal,
Your money,
Your car
Your life.
Mistakes that cry, 
And come to you for help.
And then they look at you
With blue eyes 
That melt you heart
And you know, 
They weren’t a mistake at all.
This mistake was a miracle.
