My wife read this one and wanted me to let you know she loves your poetry. I find this one as beautiful as the others. May God bless you every day of your life.

Ah yes,that page is one often wet with tears but you described it
with perfection.Best wishes always

Perfect, Annabel, in concept and execution. And that last line
wraps it up...perfectly. -gene.

Love it!

A beautifully written wistful piece that many a girl/woman will identify with...and yet as you say you have no regrets, and you have been on an incredible journey and are the person today because of your experiences...A lovely poem of refreshing honesty and openness.

...Thank you for this gift Anna...Hugs, Diana...

That is because of the many blank pages in our lives. Thought provoking write, well done!

Anna, of such truths are our lives often constructed. This wonderfully penned piece shouts of personal knowledge, if not an autobiographical accounting. Fantastic write and I love the title.

Thanks Dick

Sometimes you don't even realize that the pages are empty until you look back. Patrick

Sadly this has happened to many a young heart but as you say in the poem and in your comment below...our life experiences do shape and mold us into who we become in the end and if that is the case it has worked out well for you. Great write Anna

So common and so true, yet a child can be a blessing even if the circumstances were not the best.

Wisdom is a hard-earned gift and you have such wisdom.
I have empty pages too (love this concept) but these empty ones make the words on the other pages more appreciated. xx

To all of my beautiful, caring Den Friends.....I have no regrets about the past...every single thing that happened along the way helped me grow into the person I am today! Life is an incredible journey....

So often, here on the pages of Authors Den, what we write reveals so much of ourselves and we, those that have become truly fond of the friends that we've made, can only hope the words written are fiction but deep down we know that the words come from and for oneself. Great, touching words my friend.

Just an empty page, perhaps, Anna, but one that you continue to visit. We all have those empty pages. I sometimes wonder if there shouldn't be a law, that when a girl comes of age she is prescribed "the pill." Of course if that were to be the case I wouldn't be here and many of us would not. At the very least parents (well these day parent) should explain in great detail what can happen to their bodu, and yes, their life, if the are not chaste. Ah, ya got me to rambling I guess, it's just that far too many women (girls really) have had their young lives destroyed by a passionate romp with some guy who usually doesn't have to pay a price.

Great wisdom comes with age

Hopefully, that's true; and hopefully, regrets will be few.

It is good we get to where we need to be somehow.
My best progress is usually in spite of myself.
Very well done as always.
Do wish life was more fun.
