A Jigsaw

Life at times seems like a jigsaw,

With one piece that's missing out,

When you cannot find this one piece,

There is tension, ire and doubt,

It is like a missing link that

Causes you frustration, fear,

When your jigsaw is completed

You will see life's picture clear,

Without that missing piece you cannot

Fully understand and know,

You will live without full reason

What your task is, where to go,

Nothing seems to fit together,

And your picture's incomplete,

Often though the missing section

Is right there - there at your feet,

All you have to do is find it,

Put it in and see quite clear

Life's full picture, all revealing

Now you know the path to steer,

There are times when it is better

If you have someone to aid

In your seeking of life's picture

Happy when the picture's made,

All you have to do is ask for

Help, and often it is there,

Many of the pictures in life

Need two people who can share

Thoughts, ideas, and aspirations,

What to do and where to go,

Finish off the jigsaw puzzle,

And then surely you will know.
