The tiny and growing children
Are like round and narrow pencils.
Some are blunt,
And are used.
The parents are the sharpeners,
Who sharpen their child’s future and decide their way.
The teachers are the erasers,
Who correct and teach them.
They can make a wrong word correct,
Or a correct word wrong.
The siblings and friends are the scale,
Who make us go in a straight line.
What is important can become slant,
And a slant can become straight.
The paper is your life,
Where you write your script.
You can choose your way
And make your day.
