LIFE IS A PUZZLE






LIFE IS A PUZZLE




As we travel through life a jigsaw starts to form
A picture appears as we start to perform,
The puzzle gets bigger the older we get
We create this picture let us not forget.


**/~//~\\~\**


As we look back at the picture we built
There may be some regret even some guilt,
We take a twist and a turn here and there
That`s why the pieces are misshapen not square.


**/~//~\\~\**


The straight edges are first they are our frame
Once intact the centre is then our aim,
Different shapes and sizes can cause us some grief
But nice colours to follow are a blessing relief.


**/~//~\\~\**


Sometimes the pieces fall nicely into place
The correct shape sitting snugly in the space,
Puzzles are called puzzles to make you stop and think
So there`s often a piece that will not interlink.


**/~//~\\~\**


Look at the picture that`s been created by you
Is the piece from that puzzle is the picture true?
With a piece that won`t fit you have to admit defeat
Same as having a missing piece your puzzle`s incomplete.
