~ OD sent us here to make mis-
takes
To strive, to fail, to 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 searching, praying for the light
Until at last we find the way.
And looking back upon the past
We know we need all the strain
OF fear and doubt and strife and
pain
To make us value peace at last.
Who fails, finds later triumph sweet,
Who stumbles once, walks then with
care,
And knows the place to cry "Be-
ware!"
To other unaccustomed feet.
Through strife the slumbering soul
awakes.
We learn on errors troubled route
The truths we could not prize
without
The sorrow of our sad mistakes.
