Thanks to my friend, Jerry, from down under, <br />I now have a new view! <br />I am so glad he had <br />A point to share, or two! <br /> <br />'He is glad, ' he said, <br />'that pencils have erasers, <br />but also that they <br />Have lead and sharp points, <br /> <br />Because this way, <br />We can right our Writes, <br />And right our wrongs, or make a point, <br />Or write apologies to someone dear, <br /> <br />Or pen a note <br />To someone we love, <br />To tell them just why <br />We wish they were near <br /> <br />So, this prayer continues, <br />To you, my Father, <br />In grateful appreciation, <br />For pencils with sharp lead and erasers! <br /> <br />Thanks are sent to Mountain Man, Jerry Hughes, for this thought! <br />Scarlett<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-glad-pencils-have-erasers-part-2/
