Puzzles And Word Searches

When we want to begin healing ourselves,
We finally take puzzle boxes from our shelves.
We begin with identifying every edge piece,
Deciding if what's outside is worth our peace.

We then work assembling pieces slowly,
Working towards center, thinking deeply.
When the picture becomes full and clear,
We then remember people we hold dear.

When we want to know more about things,
We learn all answers are within all writings.
Like a word search, the words are all there.
You just have to "listen," show how you care.

When you feel so lost in any life chapter,
Just remember what you were originally after.
Just as we solve puzzles, you have the power
To reassemble yourself even after disaster.
