The Altered Puzzle

Seven billion people in seven distant lands, Scattered as products of desolate brands. We are the puzzle pieces, distinct from each, As leaves give beauty to an evergreen beech. Different pieces of puzzle, put into a frame, Individual piece have no identity or name. Together we build in solitary perfection, A humane beauty beyond perception.

Thanks for sharing this. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
