The Jigsaw Puzzle of My Life

One big happy family is an understatement at best A mother whose devotion has built this frenzied nest A morbid sense of humor, dedicated to our throne Without our main piece of this puzzle, our fate would be unknown Our father he’s a comedian, in every sense of the word His selflessness and compassion; feeling invisible, not heard Cussing and ranting at the simplest tasks in life Never thinking of himself; only his children, grand-children and wife The oldest sibling out of three is a hard-working soul An entrepreneur in every sense always achieving his goals Passive and lenient his family comes first, always giving his time Working seven days a week well within his prime The middle child and only daughter stuck between two “boys” Never feeling appreciated; trying to fill a void First in the family to go to college; becoming educated and well known Still searching for her sense of belonging; even though she’s all grown The baby of the family and that baby still remains With his lack of responsibility and spending what he gains The heart of a lion; very strong and very brave Just a tad bit naïve in life, just waiting to be saved Four grandsons and eight grand-daughters keep the puzzle in tact Non-stop adventures and activities; always running within a pack One has gone off to college; the remainder will follow her lead Instilling values upon our children; always teaching them to succeed Our children are our future and our family may be a little inane But for one to have a finished puzzle, one must first experience pain Our puzzle is completed; the pieces are all a perfect fit This jigsaw puzzle we have created, is a piece of history to submit
