The Puzzle

Life is like a puzzle

The borders and edges are the foundation of your character

Often shaped with help from others:

Some who love to stand by and watch your puzzle grow

Others who take pleasure in fitting the pieces into place

As your puzzle gets more complex and harder to complete

The pleasure seekers fall away,

perhaps to find pieces of their own puzzle

Or to satiate the desire to ingrain themselves in the process of another

It’s the pieces that you find all on your own

The ones that seem to complete your soul

That are most rewarding

Even if they’ve been there, quiet and just out of view all along

The recognition is immense

The response, overwhelming

Knowing that your puzzle is complete

Is what we all hope and strive for.
