Pieces

June 17, 1972

Two people,

Vowed to piece their souls together

And young life

Went walking into seasons never forecasted

Sickness and health,

Poverty-wealth…

Wealth without price tag paved the path of pieces…

Walls echoing laughter, displaying artwork,

Holding smudges, melting grudges,

Encasing dreams…

Daydreams coming to life-day after day

night after night

Station wagons, laundry lines,

Long hauls, deliveries,

Beach days, Sunday nights,

BBQs, open doors, grilled cheeses,

Duck parks, dreamettes, small tv sets…

Love on Lane

King & Queen on Kingsbury

Allendale holds lots of tales…

Exline was a rewind

Sandpoint a new direction…

From the mundane to the mustangs

and everything in between

The pieces are placed-

From moment to minute to hour

To day-month-years

18,262 days in pieces

Engraved in heart,

felt in soul, with hard work,

through warm tears,

LOVE…

The Miracle Mosaic

The Decision to Say

“I Do”

The Perfectly imperfect

Transformed 50 Years of Pieces into

A Masterpiece of a Lifetime
