People
are like jigsaw puzzles
they have pieces.
Some people get to see only some pieces of other people
and so they don’t see the whole..only parts
We keep putting out our own pieces together in different ways,
trying to make sense of them
unlike those who make their pictures faster than us..others
Sometimes we lose some pieces
Sometimes we find new ones
Sometimes we find people with whom we can share our pieces
Some people take our pieces and walk away
Others get us..and the picture right
A nearly perfect image
And sometimes they just get it all wrong.
But we are always trying to fit our puzzles with those of others.
Sometimes they don’t fit
no matter how much we try
and other times
they just fit
…. perfectly.
