Be.

Become.

Becoming...

Becoming brave.

Bending, breathing, breaking --

Born breathtaking,

Belonging beyond beauty.

Bona-fide badass --

Be bright,

Boundlessly bestowing blessings.

Be bossy --

Bring bravery, blue blood, brawn --

But beware: brains beat battles.

Born blessed,

Becoming better,

Becoming best.

Be bold.

Believe bravely.

Bloom brilliantly!

Beloved...

Be.

    So heartwarming and encouraging. ❀️ I think this is one of the few tautograms that makes sense, keeps the words simple, and is easy to read! The form fits your poem like a glove.
