My Work of Art

A Poem by Candice Flores

My life is a puzzle

with a thousand adjoining parts

The overall picture is fuzzy

since i'm just at my start

Everyone gives suggestions

on where I should go first

Like other young ones,

this is a role I haven't rehearsed

Connect all the borders

meaning the house, job, and kids

That's what's most important they say

what real living is

But i don't buy it,

that's not what it's all about

The picture's incomplete,

if the inner pieces are left out

That insignificant part,

that extra piece of sky

That's when we laughed so hard

we both nearly cried

Another piece of grey, throw in more blue

a little green and some red

That's us growing older together

but as in love as when we first met

It's the inner parts,

that make the best memories

This is my life,

my own personal masterpiece

I have always believed its not about the destination but the journey you take to get there. Its the little things that make life more enjoyable.
