Life – a Puzzle

By Agnes Salome Jaison

I remember a time I sat confused…

Life itself seemed to be a puzzle

Clear mind to me seemed to be refused…

My whole brain went on to tousle…

My glance fell on my son seated nearby

Meddling with his hand, an old scrambled puzzle

Such an unshapely and twisted puzzle …

After a few flips & turns, its lovely shape came by.

This scene started speaking to me

My eyes opened up and saw the truth

My scrambled life in God’s hands I could see…

Flipped & turned with a purpose of making smooth

And when the truth dawned on me finally

Hope and Faith filled my soul completely

The ups and downs in life…I was reminded that day

To a better life – it is a stairway!!!
