Window Dressing

I thought life would be like a painting or a song I was wrong It’s not a perfect row of fine, trimmed trees Or a rhyme, sung in time, Soothing me Life is what you make of it A puzzle with pieces, you need To make fit If only it were more like window dressing Just confessing A perfect array, drawing me in That thought makes me grin

Nice, and so true, Mike. Life is "what you make of it" and trying so hard to make the pieces, like a puzzle, fit.
