Pieces...


All the pieces are scattered.  They lay strewn across the table.  The Lord was kind enough to place them there.  They include my favorite colors.  All the prints are original.  When I inspect them, I relished in their beauty.  There are days when I walk by the assortment, and I longed to create its final design.  Then it would not hurt anymore.  Then all will make sense.  Everything will be in order.

I’ve tried to intervene, but have been prevented.  I admit it hurts.  I have felt discarded and rejected.  So I have withdrawn.  That’s when I pray to be removed.  If only, he will get rid of the pieces I would no longer be tempted to intervene.  Maybe he will allow me to leave the room.  If only He would, I could choose to forget their existence.  Remember no more.  Then it will all make sense.  Everything will be in order.  It will no longer hurt.

He does not follow my advice.  He has chosen not to.  He is trying to save me. For you see, he knows what I am unable to accept.  I would be incomplete.  For how can I leave behind the pieces of me?
