Jigsaw Soul

Each passing day puts on display 
a puzzle piece of jigsaw soul.
Providing parts to add to hearts, 
from halfway done to fully whole. 

The bygone years are souvenirs, 
the trinkets of a time gone by; 
though caked with rust, dried blood, and dust, 
they stain, then fade, but never die. 

The decades roll and ring a toll 
for lessons taught but slowly learned. 
Experience, with common sense, 
shall grow, rebuilding bridges burned. 

The wisdom found on weathered ground 
repays, with interest, youthful debt. 
Each piece a shred, profusely bled, 
but, joined as one, a finished set.
