The Puzzle
The cold darkness of night
traps a lonely child,
it will not let him escape
unless a warm and caring hand
guides him to the exit,
until he finally fits
into the puzzle called life.
The day came and he was ready
but to leave things behind
was required,
thus, insecurity and self-hate
were sacrificed at once,
now he runs through the green field
and silently smiles at the lights of night,
knowing that he’s no longer alone
Since he met the warm and caring hand.
He fits the puzzle now
Each piece has a place,
Each piece matters,
Each piece cries,
Each piece loves,
Each piece builds the image,
Brush strokes of green,
Carefully done
By lovely artists,
All contributing to every trace,
Creating the beautiful image
Of the puzzle called life,
The puzzle called family.
