Your life has been a puzzle,
the pieces different from the ones in the box
No set directions, no set of instructions
a lesson for your dad and me
One child, one person to raise
to grow, to nurture, to encourage
They would call us crazy
and judge us for our decisions
Still somehow, with fear and doubt
we convinced ourselves we knew
You were different, you are different
brilliant as the light from the brightest star
Not to be controlled or contained
you felt trapped, caged by expectations
Restless and determined, you broke free
wandering the earth and searching your soul
And the puzzle is starting to come together
peace in you, peace in me.
