The puzzle

Looking at the picture for a puzzle

A castle surrounded by trees

Blue skies above rocky peaks

White stone walls

Did not seem so difficult

Until I saw the 1000 pieces

Only a few features recognizable

The rest all random colors

With odd shapes

A daunting task to solve

But with patience and a sharp eye

Pieces are grouped into colors

Edges are strung together

More eyes and hands join in

Pieces start to match up

Order replaces chaos

Its good lesson in life

However big the challenges you face

When fixing it all seems impossible

Step back and study it hard

Break the problem into smaller parts

Pick one part and start working on it

Be patient and work steadily

With resolve and support from others

You can solve almost any puzzle

Eventually most of the pieces should fit together

Then you can live in your own castle

Even if it has a few pieces missing
