Her wisdom in words far exceed her years.
She spoke in uniqueness one seldom hears.
People besides her parents amused
at the creative language this child used.
“I feel like a piece of paper,” she blared,
“That’s never been colored on” she declared.
From out of nowhere this gem was stated
like other sayings she had created.
I laughed loudly and then I had a thought
that this young lady had just said a lot.
If all of us start life as a blank page
what is found on it is kind of a gauge.
A life which is lived alone and unused
is often a life which is very confused.
But life which is filled with activity
has multiple colors that all can see.

Great story, and what they said? from the mouth of children...

How very true your words. If only there were many more coloured pages in the world, how much better off the world would be. Cheers. Liz
How true in a way that we are like blank papers at the start of life. The hardships and pain we go through life brings different colors on that paper, and some of those "we need to erase" or adjust to create a better picture. Very insightful and beautifully written poem.
