The world has been given yet another clean slate <br />to try and do it all over again. <br />Erasing all of its past mistakes <br />of bad beginnings and their ends. <br /> <br />Sewing up or just placing some emotional patches <br />on life's frayed clothing that was worn. <br />Stitch by stitch, life's thread by thread <br />our future lives to be reformed. <br /> <br />The slate is hard sometimes for some to write on <br />skipping over the cracks of where they've written. <br />But wiped clean we can all start again <br />every letter now on our slate <br />perfectly placed and better fittin.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/clean-slate-5/
