We write with a pencil in our minds,
What happens day after day,
When we make a mistake,
We hide it by writing in a new page,
Its life, there's no eraser for us to erase us,
But in some part of our life,
We betray and hurt our parents,
Whether it may through an argument about something stupid
Or your first argument
Or a big argument
Its recorded in our life
But our parents will simply
Erase it for us
No matter how wrong it is
They'll always say "You're forgiven, I love you sweetie"
With that they erase our guilt & our pain
If there's a pencil, then there's an eraser.
Contrary to our parents, our existence are Colour Pencils
On a sheet of white paper that we walk on together
We colour something on the paper as time passes
When we're born,
A sun appears on their paper
When we first learn to crawl
A grassy field grows on their paper
When we call "Mama" or "Papa"
They sound like the song of the Nightingale
When we learn to walk
A dirt road appears on the field
So they can walk with us
As we grow up
Flowers grow on their fields
Each time we express different emotions
Different coloured flowers appear
But one day...
When we hurt our parents
A lone bush of rose appears
As beautiful as we appear to our parents
But beneath it are thorns that will prick their hands when they take care of us
So we pray another day comes
That we will make the proud and happy
So that a stretch of Sunflowers will appear
As bright as the sun
As beautiful as they see us
As great as they see us as
Never to prick their gentle and defenseless hands again
