PICTURE PUZZLE

SOMETIMES WE ASK OURSELVES,
WHERE IN LIFE, WE MAY HAVE, WENT WRONG
WHEN OUR LIVES, BECOME, SO UNBEARABLE,
THAT WE, NO LONGER FEEL STRONG.
WE TAKE A MOMENT, LOOKING BACK,
AT IT ALL, WITHIN OUR MINDS,
REMEMBERING, ALL THE THINGS,
THAT HAPPENED,
ESPECIALLY, ALL THE GOOD TIMES.
AS WE, PIECE TOGETHER,
LIKE A PUZZLE,
THE GOOD TIMES, AND THE BAD,
THE PICTURE, WE BEGIN TO SEE,
IS LIKE A PUZZLE, WE ONCE HAD.
BUT, SOMEWHERE, ALONG THE WAY,
A PIECE OF IT, WAS LOST,
WE SEARCH, TO TRY, AND FIND IT,
  WE DON'T EVEN,  MIND THE COST.
SOMETIMES, WE MIGHT FIND IT,
AND SOMETIMES, WE MIGHT NOT,
SHOULD WE, HOLD ON,
TO THE OTHER PIECES,
OR LET THEM, FADE,
LIKE A ROSE, IN A POT.
I SAY, ALWAYS, HANG ON TO THEM,
LET THE GOOD, OUT WEIGH THE BAD,
EVEN THOUGH, AT TIMES,
THE THINGS, WE REMEMBER,
MAY EVEN, MAKE US SAD.
