Fragile Puzzles

Life weaves its way through destiny and the chips fall where they may Some bask in glory, others in sorrow Painting choices in blue and gray Bringing every emotion into play We must weather whatever it brings Or we will be left out in the rain Or worse yet, a hurricane, Blowing troubles upon pain After the storms of life have blown We emerge with the scars it left Trying to put the pieces together On the fragile puzzle of its breath We take this journey in faith, as Life weaves its way through destiny And we hang on for the roller coaster ride, as *"The storms are raging on the rollin' sea, and on the highway of regret"* 2-11-2020 Famous poetic lines 3 - Love songs Contest Sponsor: Silent One * "The storms are raging on the rollin' sea, and on the highway of regret"* is a line from the Bob Dylan song: "Make you feel my love"

Joseph congratulations on your placement in this contest. Life is so very fragile, we must handle it with prayer! Like your ending with a line from a Bob Dylan song. Well penned my friend. Jennifer.

... And the music plays on. Life is filled with many ups and downs. You are right, many will make the best of each and every situation, while others drown in it all. This is so beautifully written and presented. Well done my friend. ~ Brandy
