Losing A Piece Of My Soul

Losing A Piece Of My Soul

by Jasmine Johnston

I came to you the hour I was in pain

Looking for answers, I cried to you in vain.

I shared the many skeletons hiding in my heart,

I knew then you’d be my friend,

I knew it from the start.

Troubles ran like rivers, flowing through my life,

You picked the pieces up and help me through my strife.

When home wasn’t home to me no more,

You opened up your heart, and opened up the door.

We cried into night until the early morn.

We solaced each other’s pain and shared our many thorns.

As time flew, the air grew thick,

I saw our friendship fading, and my heart grew sick.

The day had arrived,

When it was time to say goodbye.

Now I sit alone,

reminiscing the past I’d blown.

Eggs’ Various Uses

Use as glue

Out of regular white glue? Egg whites can act as a glue substitute when gluing paper or light cardboard together.

Add to compost

Eggshells are a great addition to your compost because they are rich in calcium — a nutrient that helps plants. Crushing them before you put them in your compost heap will help them break down faster.

Water your plants

After boiling eggs, don’t pour the water down the drain. Instead, let it cool; then water plants with the nutrient-filled water.

Start seeds

Plant seeds in eggshells. Place the eggshell halves in the carton, fill each with soil, and press seeds inside. The seeds will draw extra nutrients from the eggshells. Once the seedlings are about 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) tall, they are ready to be transplanted into your garden. Remove them from the shell before you put them in the ground. Then crush the eggshells and put them in your compost or plant them in your garden.

Make a facial

Who has time or money to spend at the local day spa, paying someone to tell you how awful your skin looks? For a little pampering, head to the refrigerator and grab an egg. If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk. Oily skin takes the egg white, to which a bit of lemon or honey can be added. For normal skin, use the entire egg. Apply the beaten egg, relax and wait 30 minutes, then rinse. You’ll love your new fresh face.
