The Best Person I've Ever Had

Pencil: I'm sorry.
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry you get hurt because of me.
Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it.
But as you make my mistake vanish, you lose
a part of yourself and 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.
I'm actually happy with my job. So please stop worrying.
I hate seeing you sad.

"Our parents are like eraser, whereas we children are the pencil.
They are always there for the children,
cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way
they get hurt and become smaller (older and eventually pass on).
Take care of your parents, treat them with kindness and
most especially love them.
