When One Finds the Other

Take a piece of jig-saw and turn it in your hand
Place it on an empty board and try to understand
That the tiny piece of cardboard that's shaped and holds design
Is like a piece of lifetime, that one cannot quite define.
But when you lift another piece and place beside the other
One will find they match and soon you will discover
That though it seems at random our lives in pieces be
When placed side by side there's perfect symmetry.
