Life like a puzzle

A poem explaining life if every person is a piece in your puzzle

By Liliana KrpanPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
Life as a puzzle

A newborn, you Zero pieces One piece, mom Two pieces, dad

Twelve years old School, friends, family, siblings Twenty-four pieces

Eighteen years old High school, friends, family, siblings Sixteen pieces Some pieces are lost forever Some pieces can be found again

Thirty years old Job, friends, family, siblings, kids, wife Forty-five pieces Fifty-five years old Job, friends, family, siblings, kids, grandkids, wife

Sixty pieces Mom and dad finished their puzzle Fifty-eight pieces

Eighty years old You leave your puzzle Forgotten, unfinished, lost, dead
