One Step Back And Three Steps Forward Poem by Hebert Logerie

It is fine to go back, to reassess the current situation
Learning from the past is very important. Quick action
Is required to go forward slowly, prudently and surely
We all make mistakes unless you are perfect and divine
As far as we know so far, even when things look fine
Some trials and errors are intertwined inextricably
With failures, faux pas or missteps. Nobody is perfect
With time even theories proved to be accurate or correct
Become obsolete, archaic, old-fashioned and repudiated
It's okay to step back in order to become more educated
Keep the windows of your mind clear, clean and open
The sky is not the limit. Be resolute to go beyond the heaven.
