An enigma, am I-
a mystery, a puzzle,
putting my own pieces
together.

Not a 25 piece,
ages 3-5 puzzle either.
No, this puzzle
has thousands of intricate
pieces...

Many different shades and hues,
each piece unlike another.

Putting together this puzzle
is challenging at best
and trying to say the least,
requiring my complete
concentration...

But I think the finished product
in all its glory
will be well worth the effort.

For I know that
the end picture
will be of rainbows and sunshine...

I can already see
rays of light showing through,
as I'm interlocking
the pieces of me.

I enjoyed this, too. Your puzzle metaphor is splendid, and so appropriate!

I like the aspect of putting the puzzle together and achieving positive results.

This is very well done ...I agree with you and the others....life is a puzzle that eventually gets pieced together.

Hello! Life is a puzzle...thousands of pieces...sometimes it takes an entire lifetime to complete this puzzle, then at other times, pieces can get lost along the way.
