Puzzles
The puzzles on the walls,
And the photos of your life.
All in a perfect place,
Etched in my mind.
The simplest things,
Made me smile with you.
Every place in time,
Your laugh precise.
No matter what day,
I'd ask you to play.
Cause I knew what you'd say,
Always yes, God bless!
Everything in life,
That's usually left unsaid.
Wasn't left,
We knew, as did you.
Your life well lived,
Piece by final piece.
Your puzzle now finished.
Framed and glued,
In all our love for you.
We will go on remembering
Your lessons and puzzles
And how you made us all feel,
Like the most important final piece!
You give me a purpose,
To be as happy as you!
