O’ Eraser

you are so rubbery,
You make me feel happy when I remove my mistakes-

With your elastic texture and pink colors,

Your eraser shavings do sadden me.

With each shaving, a part of you is lost-

One day, a pencil poked a hole through you,

And I lament that I had to replace you

Along with your very smooth edges and sharp corners,

Some may not see your strong abilities,

Like removing mistakes or polishing many things

To me, you are the master of all corrections.

O’ Eraser, please do not erase everything

 Or nothing will be left,
Forever, you will be the King corrector and editor, whether in a school or at home
