Pencil and Paper

From a pencil to a paper I sing...
Lasting feelings without the sting...

Each stroke of a letter has a sound...
Never falling short or to the ground...

From a pencil to a paper I sing...
Line to line as each has a wing...

All the words connect and hold like hands...
From my title to my name it can now stand...

From a pencil to a paper I sing...
Where my heart and soul touch and ring...
