"My Puzzle "

I love puzzles to put
Together
Nice to work on in bad
Weather
-
I found one upon my
Shelf
One specially just for
Myself
-
I tried working on it many
Times you see,
Yes I tried, but was too
Hard for me
-
It was a strange one I have
To admit
Seem like many pieces
Did not fit
-
If that wasn't enough it made
Me want to cry
You see there was no picture to
Go by
-
In a part with colors like a
Rainbow
I tried each piece, none seem
To go
-
I tried working on it by
Myself,
Ended up putting it back on the
Shelf
-
Something in my life I always
Seem to lack,
Got the puzzle down and
And brought it back
-
Why did it seem to keep calling
My name
I needed help, maybe I'll
Work on the frame
-
I ask God to show me how to,
And in what way
To start on this puzzle this
Very day
-
Then the room got suddenly
Very bright,
Umm--seem I did need a little
More light
-
I felt His presence as if to
Say
"You never started it in the
Right way"
-
I said I can't do it all alone
Don't you see
He said. "My child your not alone,
You have got me"
-
But God it has no picture to
Go by
I can't seem to help but
Wonder why
-
The pieces I tried to fit all by
Myself
Was too hard alone, so back
On the shelf
-
I knew that there was a beauty
That would show when done
I felt this one was special, yes a
Very special one
-
I felt it tugged at my very soul
Some how
Dear God will you help me with
It now?
-
You made the first step my
Child
Oh....how I waited for this all the
While
-
The puzzle needs no picture to
See
I created it and it is very dear
To me
-
If you try to look at it
From your soul
You will see
The finished goal

-
Now the frame is me, for I hold all
The pieces in place
This must always be your
Base
-
Now together we will see the
Beauty come alive
Once we have the strength with
The side
-
Now we will work on the dark
Parts so the brightest will show
This is my child is the right path
To go
-
Now you keep asking me how
Do I know which way to go
Umm------did you forget
I created it so?
-
Do you yet see, what the subject
Is about
Come on now, it's time for all
To shout
-
This is Your puzzle
I made just for you
Made one for every one on earth
Too
-
When their time to bring it down
From the shelf
They will recognize it is of
Themselves
-
They will learn as you... they will
Call upon me
And their life they will also
See
-
Aww my child now is the picture
Clear to you?
This is your life in the things
That you do
-
I gave it life but it is you that
Makes it what it will be
I left that part for you, do you
Now agree?
-
The dark parts are your troubles
You had---
Yes I know some did look, so
Very bad
-
Look at the beautiful colors, oh
How they seem to glow.
You see my child I brought you
A rainbow
-
Now you ask when will the last
Piece fit in?
Only I will know this, and will not
Tell you when
-
But be ready, then you will see
The over all
That will be the day my child,
When I come to call
-
Have you started on your puzzle
Today?
Yes, I felt this is just what God
May say
