That I Were a Notebook

Oh that I were a notebook
And each mark was just a trace
Of pencil on pale paper
So easily erased.

Oh that I were a notebook
And each line were art
Sketched and painted
Into beauty so new.

Oh that I were a notebook
Of infinite ideas
So I'd never run empty
And could read my identity.

Oh that I were a notebook
Treasured by someone
Who'd fill me with secrets
And wrap me in trust.

Oh that I were a notebook
So you could erase me
Start me over from scratch
And make a new beauty.

Oh that I were a notebook
And could discard my mistakes
As simply as crumpled paper
And pencil shavings.

Oh that I were a notebook
Full of new beginnings
And that fresh scent of hope
That comes with just one blank page.

Oh that I were a notebook
Just to erase those traces
Form new beauty
And hold onto new hope.

Oh that I were just an innocent notebook...
