Whole.....

It takes many pieces to create a whole
We are the form of mind, body and soul
What is a trunk with out branches and leaves?
What is a field without earth, grass or sheaves?
Without the water the sea is a grave
But what of the hollow which cradles the wave
The bud on its own would never bloom
A bride is no bride without a groom
Even a stone is a particle mass
The dirt is no lawn until it has grass
The bird and the bee and the butterfly
Without wings could never reach for the sky
A book with out pages or a pen with no ink?
A song without music or fount with no drink?
Yes, it takes many pieces to create what we see
And darling, without you I would never be me
