Bella Shepard

You are

At birth

A blank page

Upon which

The trials of life

Will be written

    Hello Bella,

    Wisdom personified in a single breath of verse. It's really beautiful. Very well done, my friend.

    Wishing you all the very best,

    Tony.

    • Bella Shepard

      Maybe short but that is so true and beautiful, just up to us to fill the page up, enjoyed the read

      Truth in a few lines Bella. And in some peoples books it written in black and white I prefer color myself. Loved it Bella

      • Bella Shepard

        Thank you dear friend, a few lines seems to be all I have in me these days. I suppose we can live that black and white life, boring. I say, the more color the better! Take care.

          You are most welcome Dear Bella. I have found that a few lines get more reads than longer poems so all the better more exposure.

            Bella, there’s real clarity in this poem. No overreach, no extras... just truth laid down. That final line doesn’t blink..the "will" in that line hits as it should: with certainty. Beautifully powerful in its brevity and impact. 🌹👏 A fave, my friend.

            • Bella Shepard

                Yeah, but you can also fulfill the purpose for which you were born. Nicely done!

                Bullseye! ... Now bring it all on...
