Take a stunning photograph 
an impressive and picturesque scene
Alpine snow capped mountains
the prettiest sunset you've ever seen   

Paint a stunning work of art 
an ocean every shade of blue
Capture a rolling landscape
hills, fields and trees, a famous view

Select your favourite picture
cut into shapes, a thousand parts
Place each one back in a box
this is when the real magic starts

Find a sturdy wooden board
this time, size really does matter
Shuffle the pieces around
turn them face up whilst you scatter

First find the corner pieces
carefully follow the picture clues
Collect all the straight edges
place together in matching hues   

Such a simple process
interlocking shapes piece by piece
After just a few hours
you’ve recreated a masterpiece   

So grab yourself a jigsaw
a great way to occupy your day
A puzzling distraction
to keep those niggling blues at bay 

------------------------

Life is like a jigsaw 
where each person plays their part
When united together 
creating a beautiful work of art
