Incomplete
A puzzle is not a puzzle when you’re missing all the pieces,
A year isn’t a year when you’re missing all the seasons.
A piano can’t be played if there aren’t any keys,
A pea pod’s not a pea pod if it’s missing all its peas.
A koi pond’s not a koi pond if there aren’t any fish,
If there are no stars in sight then you cannot make a wish.
A bank is not a bank if there isn’t any money,
A honeycomb’s not a honeycomb if the bees aren’t making honey.
A yo-yo’s not a yo-yo if it doesn’t have a string,
A butterfly cannot fly if it doesn’t have its wings.
A worker is not a worker if he doesn’t even bother,
A family is not a family if a girl is without her father.
