Life Is A Puzzle

 
Life is indeed a puzzle
 
Connecting pieces by chance
 
Occasionally pieces are missing
 
Unfortunate circumstance
 
You've turned on the radio
 
They play your favorite song
 
Raining on your outside party
 
The weatherman was wrong
 
You found flea market dishes
 
Like when you were a kid
 
Serving the food you ordered
 
Doesn't look like the menu did
 
If you break it then you buy it
 
This time wasn't your fault
 
The recipe said a cup of sugar
 
Oh, that was a cup of salt
 
First date with your crush
 
Everything has went fine
 
You've overflowed the toilet
 
She's standing next in line
 
You bought a scratch off ticket
 
And won a hundred bucks
 
I ordered goose down pillows
 
They sent me rubber ducks
 
Found the car of your dreams
 
And you can afford this ride
 
That board is way to short
 
Tape measure has a metric side
 
Some pieces will never fit
 
Or you will never find them at all
 
So learn to laugh at this life
 
Whether the puzzle is big or small

When I'm Gone

 
Will you be happy
 
Have any regret
 
Just walk away
 
Sorry we met
 
Shed a tear
 
Breath a sigh
 
Have memories
 
Say goodbye
 
Stare at photo's
 
Recite a prayer
 
Save a trinket
 
Pretend you care
 
Say something nice
 
Think something mean
 
Hold your silence
 
Cause a scene
 
Do thoughts linger
 
Am I a flash
 
A moments treasure
 
Your daily trash
 
Feel ashamed
 
Dread this day
 
Pay a tribute
 
Throw me away
 
Sense remorse
 
Justify my end
 
Spit in the wind
 
My name defend
 
Conjure an image
 
Attempt to recall
 
Force a feeling
 
Discard it all
 
None really matters
 
When I'm gone
 
I won't be back
 
Keep moving on

The Miracle Of "Me"

 
From the depth of darkness
 
Came this subtle mystery
 
You carried a precious soul
 
That someday I would be
 
In the "Great Book Of Life"
 
I lay unformed upon a page
 
My place already written
 
Well before my earth or age
 
He knit and wove in secret
 
So very intricate each part
 
A special gift he bestowed
 
Unconditional loving heart
 
I happened into this world
 
With tears of joy and pain
 
Count the sand of the seas
 
His whispers, not in vain
 
My creator and my Lord
 
Saved by the cross he bore
 
Someday as I return there
 
He'll know "me" once more
