Analysis of JIGSAW
You live your life
like a jigsaw,
millions of fragments
scattered all about,
small misshapen moments
fill your life.
There is a smile
you as a child,
sometimes small pieces
will create a tear
your jigsaw is spread out everywhere.
Yet sadly you will never
lay down the final piece,
that will be left
in the hands
of your kith 'n' kin.
