    Wonderfully inspiring set of poems, with each poem giving the reader a much-needed dose of motivation and hope in such trying times.Like you, I firmly believe that everything in life happens for a reason and everyone has a purpose in life that will eventually become their true calling. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks, John for sharing Brenda's work.

      Ravi...
      Thanks for reading my work.

      I'm glad you find them inspiring.

      I think we all have a purpose in life & somehow all the pieces fit together to form a giant puzzle.

    Brenda, your hub was a solace to me in many ways. Writing does bring peace to the heart and soul. I especially liked the quote by Oprah Winfrey. A stunning hub based on your your own prompt. Loved it all a lot.

    Hello Brenda!
    Excellent set of poems, as a response to the word prompt, Purpose.
    I liked all your poems, each one giving a different interpretation to the word, purpose.
    The purpose of writers, is quite relatable.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Thank you John for highlighting Brenda’s response.

    Brenda has created an interesting and helpful group of poems. I think it's important to choose one or more purposes in life. They may change as life progresses and we face new challenges, but a purpose in life can be helpful. Thank you for sharing Brenda's article, John.

      You do have a point.

      As our life changes, sometimes our purpose does too.

      Thanks for reading and take care.

    Thank you, John, for sharing Brenda's beautiful hub. smile

    Beautiful poems, Bredz. Without a purpose, there will be no such thing as life. We all come in and go from this world empty-handed. However, as creatures with needs and emotions, we have a thirst to become something, to achieve something, and to quench that thirst (purpose), we aspire to take specific paths in life. We live to fulfill a purpose; I believe life would not have existed without a purpose! It would be too boring and dull!
    Thank you very much for sharing all these beautiful poems. I enjoyed them all!
    Blessings and Love to both of you! ❤️

      Thanks Misbah!

      Life would definitely be boring if we  had nothing to look forward too.

      Finding our purpose in life exists for a reason.

      We may all come into this world empty handed...but before we leave, hopefully we have left alot of memories behind that others can learn from as they continue on their own journey.

      Hugs
      Bredz

    They say everything has a purpose....

      I think everything has a reason, if not , it could be  evil.. Few find their true calling or purpose in life. When you are enjoying writing as a service for humanity and many response by enjoying it. From my experience of 50 years being married and centered in professional sculpture. My feeling  your either up and coming or being there in the bliss of it.

          It's certainly about those joys, rather than those toys. Keep up your pleasure business.
