Pencil

i took a closer look at something so simple
we call it a PENCIL so fancy for scribble
long, pointed, and with a tiny eraser
it's getting rid off whatever blunder

primary years, high school days and college days
handy-dandy pencil is useful in numerous ways
for algebra, chemistry, physics and geometry
there's a lot more things to write in history

doctors, engineers, teachers and clerks
pencil has its holder on top of their desks
farmers, drivers, and apprentice too
have all in common - using pencil and that is true

life can be compared to a pencil my friend
it wont even write unless it's sharpened
life is not colorful unless there's pain
sharpening life with challenging stain

we may commit a lot of mistakes as we go along the way
cheer up! you can change for the better not later but today
like a pencil with a tiny eraser on the other end
erase the mistakes and start scribbling right my friend
