JENGA LIFE
My life is like a puzzle
one of towering pieces of wood
just like that game 'Jenga"
each piece represents
a small piece of me
with the removal of the piece
I become more fragile
which one will be next
the first to be removed
a piece next to my heart
representing my newphews
and how sick they are
that shook me hard
but I have faith
born of strong stock
they will fight and overcome
then the trip from hell
that was a piece more
part of my legs
that made me walk alittle funny
removal of a part near my stomach
that denotes the surgery of my uncle
once again faith that he recover nicely
struggels inside my family
those pieces cover several parts of me
as the game played out
over the last 30 days
my foundation got rockier
deep inside the rumblings
of an earthquake waiting
tapping me on the shoulder
telling me to get ready
the last piece was about to be removed
and it finally happened
my tower finally collapsed
a small piece of wood
my soul and source of strength was taken
I can no longer look forward
to the day that my 'Chance Man'
will come to live with his mommy again
I have faith that I will find an answer
but for now watch where you step
you never know when a game of jenga
will leave one of the little pieces of wood
Hi Renee I see what you mean. My children got this game for Xmas and it has made me now look at it in such a different light. You are a very strong woman indeed and although sometimes life does get tough and seem to hard to handle, keep the faith and all will remain strong and in tact. Thanks for sharing such intimate emotions... I really enjoyed this one! Roz :)
This is an absolutely wonderfully strong, yet, sensitive piece. I have never heard of the game, but, now, I see a woman of strength , yet, vulnerable at the same time. You will build again, my friend. Amy

Renee, Very clever comparison you used here. When problems upon problems upon problems take pieces of you in a short period of time you really never know which is going to be the piece that causes you to completely fall apart and hit bottom. I'll never look at a Jenga game the same way!
