Notes About The Poem

Life Is a Puzzle

Life Is A Puzzle


Life is a puzzle;
mixed shapes of loss or reward.
Haven of flowers
or dry fields of trying times,
we try to place our pieces.

One day all will fit.
Through our trial and error,
curve fits into curve;
varied shapes are interlocked...
our life masterpiece, complete.


Sandra M. Haight
