Life's Jigsaw Poem by Rosi Caswell

S.A.D, the name is simply right.
It's how I feel when there is no light.
No sunshine sparkling in any room.
Just heavy black, oppressive gloom.
It makes me want to hibernate,
Just like the squirrels who sit on the gate,
‘Til winter comes, and they disappear,
Snuggled in their dreys so near,
But far enough that I can't see
That the gloom will lift and we shall see,
Once more, quite soon, the rays of sun
That warm us, humans and beasts- all one.
So ‘til that day we may all feel S.A.D.
Awaiting the brightness, to again feel glad.
And when the sunshine is here again,
It brings with it too, refreshing rain.
For all life's elements, we need in turn.
We must not turn away and spurn,
The ones we wish simply not to see,
For all are essential on our life's journey.
Overall balance shows many a face.
All must gel together, for it isn't a race.
For harmony complete, in our lives and our land.
Listen to nature, she holds out a hand.
She shows us the way, to embrace day by day,
The seasons of life, be they coloured or grey.
If we blend together completely as one,
Universe, animals, humans-we've won
