Poems of Purpose

"Poems of Purpose" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a collection sharing thoughts on life, love, and what it means to be human through poems. It looks at big ideas like finding happiness, understanding why we're here, what society expects from us, and how complicated relationships can be. This book makes you think about what drives people, pushing readers to discover significance and satisfaction in the world around them. The poems cover everything from being young and innocent to dealing with the tough parts of growing up. For example, one poem talks about wishing you could take back decisions you made when you were younger, teaching the importance of thinking before acting. Other poems discuss the roles of women, the rules of society, and how people connect with each other, tackling subjects like being a mother and how society judges people. The way Wilcox writes inspires readers to consider what's important to them and how their choices affect their lives and the lives of other people.
