Writing

Back then you wrote with pencils,
At the bottom of these are erasers,
These are for your mistakes,
All the errors in your paper,
Then you so eagerly write with pens,
Words in inks are hard to erase!
You should have taken your time with the pencils…

I still write with pencils-- and have learned not to erase; just to lightly cross-out, saving my edits for another frame of mind. Life is not only forward but sometimes back...like old friends and people who helped me to the next rung on my ladder. My first love.

I still write w/paper & pen! We can't forget what made us better in our craft. Nice one.
