Erasers are the nicest things! Of that there is no doubt. We write wrong words. A few quick swipes -- And big mistakes fade out. And you will find erasers, Of a very different kind, Extremely helpful, if you will try To bear these facts in mind: When you bump someone in a crowd, And almost knock her down, A soft "I'm sorry!" may bring smiles And rub out that old frown. Apologies, invariably, Obliterate mistakes; And three small words, "I love you!" Can erase the worst heartaches. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE CHILD by HAYDEN CARRUTH CONTRA MORTEM: THE WOMAN'S GENITALS by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG OF THE WAVE by ROBERT FROST MEMORY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SORROW SINGERS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EPITAPH IN A CHURCH-YARD IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA by AMY LOWELL |
