Sassys WORD

Her Puzzle Pieces

Perched on a smooth river rock
    studying her reflection in the flow
A timeline of changing faces
   slowly drifts by...
Carefree happy child
   running, playing among trees.
Rebellious miserable teen
   banging her head against authority.
Disillusioned, deeply depressed
   escaping with her spirit broken.
New mother ecstatic in California
   memorizing his growing up slide show.
Lonely, desolate woman with wrong partners
   until near death does she part.
Empty-nesters' angst ridden face
   hidden, lost in darkness.
Unstoppable learner/teacher
   finding her pieces in lifes' school.
Evolving computer addict, isolator
   searching on-line for love.
Mostly content, peaceful now
   her heart found God and "true blue."
Freedom lover flying, watching from above
   Her lifes' puzzle face more balanced
   yet incomplete.

  Wow Deb, this caught me offguard and uncovered another facet of your personality.  You're always a delightful surprise, even when going this deep.  Thanks for sharing what you have!  xoxo CATHY

  Beautiful poem -- such depth and passion and knowing who you are.  
  
  I'm a card lover, so although I've had jewelry for presents, it's always the card that gets me.  :)
