    A Honest Mistake

    When you get old
    Or maybe even when you must be told
    You can make a honest mistake
    Sometimes I forget I am awake
    So don’t hold me to perfection
    Sometimes I become blind to my selection
    I remember the time when
    A homeless man that had died
    He had no family or friends
    And I agreed to say a few words
    At his graveside service
    I was told the pauper’s cemetery
    Was far out in the woods in Kentucky
    With the direction in my head, off I went
    After turn after turn
    On the country roads, I became lost
    After sometime, I arrived
    Being so late, everyone was gone
    Except for the three-man digging crew
    I apologized and walked over to the grave
    I could see they had already put a concrete cap on the casket
    The least I could do was to say a few words
    And the men agreed
    I did my best to honor this poor soul
    And I looked around
    And there stood the digging crew
    Cry their eyes out
    I too started to weep
    I have to admit
    It was a touching scene
    I felt I had done a great service
    To this lonely soul
    As I was leaving
    I overheard one of the men say
    I have been putting septic tanks in for over 30 years
    And never seen anything like this before
    So you can see I am not perfect
    But the message can still be delivered
    Even with a defect
