Life Is a Puzzle of Many Pieces

Life is a puzzle of many pieces. 
Everyone’s puzzle is different.
As a child you explore and discover how they fit. 
Like everything it’s trial and error. 
Picking them up and trying them out  
Sometimes the pieces that fit right off,
 were meant to be placed in that spot. 
Other times you hang onto them,
 until you realize where they belong. 
Puzzle pieces are like lessons in life. 
Every piece holds a new experience to find
Hold them close to your heart 
Placing pieces in one by one. 
Before you know it you are done.
Wiser and a wizard you have become.
Remembering every piece placed.
Sharing lesson along the way
life is a puzzle of many pieces. 
That only you have all of.
