A Puzzle Poem by Lyn Paul

A Puzzle

Rating: 4.6


It is now time to say goodbye
Without evening knowing why
The world has not ended, but my watch has stopped
You will now need to pick up the pieces... that I have dropped

See life is like a puzzle, often hard to complete
Life can be a trauma or life can be a treat
But you must remember your strength and how fast life does go
Forget all the woes and watch everything grow

i think you meant even............Without evening knowing why ........did the afternoon know? ! VERY GOOD ADVICE: Forget all the woes and watch everything grow..........though often (usually) impossible to do, without ignoring one's 'responsibilities'. i like the rhyming and (overall) the poem. to MyPoemList. :) bri
