Notes About The Poem

This Game of Life

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
                                                  John Ruskin, 1853
               
                        
                        Those little pieces, one by one
            are moved in place throughout each day-
to start once more, aft night is done.
Resuming then, in the same way,
                        we shape life's puzzle- bring to light
those things accomplished- grand or slight-
put forth life's meaning into sight.
      But, sometimes, pieces fail to fit
            and jar the rest- to make us quit
                        until we rest, to then admit
this game of life- we cannot shun.
            When pieces join in place to stay,
      full span displayed- both dark and bright-
            our finished life- to God, commit.
