One picture puzzle piece Lyin' on the sidewalk, One picture puzzle piece Soakin' in the rain. It might be a button of blue On the coat of the woman Who lived in a shoe. It might be a magical bean, Or a fold in the red Velvet robe of a queen. It might be the one little bite Of the apple her stepmother Gave to Snow White.It might be the veil of a bride Or a bottle with some evil genie inside. It might be a small tuft of hair On the big bouncy belly Of Bobo the Bear.It might be a bit of the cloak Of the Witch of the WestAs she melted to smoke. It might be a shadowy trace Of a tear that runs down an angel's face. Nothing has more possibilities Than one old wet picture puzzle piece. . Shel Silverstein

Whatever it is, finding just one picture puzzle piece has the power to lift your spirits. When you see just one missing piece, you can see how all of the pieces came together.

The world is full of interesting things that form an intricate picture. When you find just one missing piece, you can put it back into place and imagine how the rest might fit together.
