You Are Not A Mistake

Know your worth

You Are Not A Mistake

You are not a mistake. You were made to be great.

If they ever say you’re not then their assessment was fake.

The man upstairs always meant for you to be here.

You’re history in the making and everything we see here.

Something happened when you entered the world.

Life was given new meaning. What a win for the world.

A spirit of great strength. You’re a reason to fight.

You’re the shine that came when the world needed a light.

Just in case this is something that you never here.

You are not a mistake and we’re grateful you’re forever here.
