The Pencil

THE PENCIL
By Mary Frances Ginty 2003
I am a pencil,
A very special pencil,
Other pencils may look like me,
Except for one small thing,
Their erasers are black from wear,
My eraser is nice and clean,
I always keep myself looking good,
So the pens will be impressed with me,
I live to be in the center,
So that all can admire me,
Then when others come needing me,
I hide, hoping I won't be seen,
My biggest fear is that,
 someone might sharpen me for use,
For the most important thing to me,
Is ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!!
Perhaps you are wondering,
Why I keep rambling on and on,
I wish that I could tell you,
However I can not!
For since I have NOT been sharpened...
I REALLY HAVE NO POINT!!!
Don't be like this pencil,
Who just rambled on and on,
Learn to let GOD USE YOU...
OR YOUR LIFE WILL HAVE NO POINT!!!
