Tie it in a Bow

I'd like life to be neat & tidy

But it never will be.

Every day I'll wake up with messy hair,

a ruffled bed 

 and lost socks.

Every night I'll lay awake with

broken promises,

nagging"what ifs"

and a desire for do-overs.

But life lived is messy.

Mistakes don't always mean failure,

and it's the process of learning that makes us better.

Give yourself a break.
