What is a Puzzle with a Missing Puzzle Piece?

She liked to chase the sun

Not because she was scared of the days end, but excited for all the days to come

Her days were unpredictable

But she liked it that way

Because each minute each hour each day

Was all her own

She realized that although she was only one piece in a puzzle of a world

She could make all the difference

Because what is the worth of a puzzle with a missing piece

The power her small puzzle piece has is outstanding

And she will make her life here count

Some may say her dreams are too big

To come back down to earth and accept reality

But she knows reality is what you make it

And that the only way to reach your dreams are through the choices you make and the chances you take

She is wild and free

The best way to be

She chases the sun and dances in the moonlight because she wants to be the light

She wants to make a difference And illuminate the world

For darkness is only found in those who don’t dare to dream

Or for those who are told their dreams are only dreams

Not every choice she makes is the right

But she knows this is okay

She will learn, process, and move forward with even more fire and drive that will only help her illuminate the world even more

She is a dreamer, a lover, a sister, a woman, a human, a friend

She loves love and wants every puzzle piece on this earth to feel it

And she knows it only takes one puzzle piece to change the world, the entire puzzle

For what is a puzzle with a missing puzzle piece?
