The Mistake

She saw me make a mistake,

How I messed up a simple task,

She saw how others reacted,

How stupid they felt I was.

She saw me pull myself up,

and own up to my mistake,

She saw me take charge,

and try and find a way.

Her little hand took mine,

her eyes fill with admiration

she didn't see me as flawless,

but she saw me as strong.

I knew I had done something right,

I taught her about life,

she taught me to find a win,

even when I had failed.
