PENCIL & ERASER

DEDICATED TO THE PARENT
Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my
mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and
smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made
to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something
wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll
replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So
please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.
I found this conversation
between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always
there for their children, cleaning
up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and
eventually pass on).
Though their children will eventually find someone new
(spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their
children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones
worrying, or sad.
"All my life, I've been the pencil..
And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.
For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser
shavings and memories of what I
used to have..."
Dedicated to all the parents out there
