26 LIFE IS A 500 PIECE PUZZLE

How is life like a 500 piece puzzle?

While working to solve life's mysteries

It's often a challenge to piece clues, together

Even so, with patience, each piece slides into place

Eventually, as bigger pictures appear
Comprehension deepens inner peace

How is life unlike a 500 piece puzzle?

Life does not come neatly packed inside a box

With a completed picture on the top

In truth life's bigger picture is not complete

Until we exhale our very last breaths

Now replace life with love and repeat this stanza.

If love and life remain in a state of flux

Then both confound as well as astound

And knowing this to be true

I collect yesterday's clues
In hopes of resolving
Whatever puzzles me, today.

If life is the end all of reality shows

And if everything seems to be unisex, today

Then what if he's singing in the tower
'Some day my princess will come'
While she quests toward solving puzzles
By tunneling forth?


Common sense suggests that
Once his vows and her vows connect on solid ground
Commitment strengthens all around
As Alan Sues and Lily Tomlin might say:
You bet your sweet bippy!
And that's the truth—thhuuppptt!
