The Pieces To The Puzzle Poem by Shannon Wade

The pieces to the puzzle
Sometime I am too exhausted to even fix my eyes to the pieces that lie in front of me
I see so called friends yet they’re not worthy of my company
Circumstances stare in my face sensing my nervousness
At times I just do not know where to start
I brace myself for the challenges that come with life
At times my soul grows tired
I can feel stress weighing on my back
Heavy like boulders
A sea of pain attempts to drown out my heart
Hope glistens and attempts to show me the way
As reality leads me to perception, I realize I am capable
I follow God’s hands as he gives direction
Watching him put together the pieces I couldn’t seem to get right
