Slippery Slope

Whenever you are about to tumble
Or at least begin to verbally fumble.

It could be a sidewalk, over which you walk,
Or a word uttered when we talk.

We slip up on things. It’s not good or bad,
But it sure can make us feel silly or sad.

But, remember when going down a slippery slope,
It will make us smarter not ever a dope.
Trying again and again means we believe,
That past failures help us in the future achieve.

Without learning from mistakes our future holds,
Lots of potentialthat might never unfold.
