I think that "Wild Geese," by Mary Oliver, calls for self-reflection, acceptance of our mistakes, and adaptation to the many alterations that life has for us. The author of this poem offers us the feeling of calmness and calm throughout the length of each line, persuading us that we are not alone in the world and that we can not spend our entire lives complaining about our mistakes.
