Life Like Lego
"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853
Have you ever thought life was like Lego?
With all of its interlocked pieces?
Mothers and fathers, grandparents and siblings,
And cousins and nephews and nieces.
Have you ever thought life was like Lego?
All squared off, each piece has its place,
And when your work reaches achievement,
Sit back with a smile on your face.
Have you ever thought life was like Lego?
So easy to knock it all down,
One moment the pieces resplendent,
The next broken making you frown.
Have you ever thought life was like Lego?
Press hard if you need things to stay,
Hard work while you put it together,
But great times with it as you play.
Have you ever thought life was like Lego?
With its colours of blue, white and red,
Or maybe I haven’t quite got it,
Life’s more like a jigsaw instead!
