Puzzle Pieces

There’s a box sitting high upon the
Shelves of your room
Sandstone-dust covered shelves
And Buried deep in the back corner of one
There’s the box only you know
Only you can uncover
For you are the tall folk

In this box are the beautiful puzzle pieces
Beautiful pieces formed of limestone and gypsum
And even crinoids
With answers to some of your problems

The shelves out of children’s reach
For now
But what will they say
When they, too, grow tall
And discover the puzzle
You kept as your own
Buried deep among the shelves…
