The Missing Piece Poem




THE MISSING PIECE


There are some days that I feel like I've lost something. 
Perhaps I might have misplaced it...
But in the end,
it turned out that
it was something that I never even had.


Not for long anyhow.


It was there...
for a small time anyhow...
not even a minute.
Just a few seconds.


There's times it gets handed to me,
Just enough time for me to hold it,
So I can get a chance to see what it feels like,
or what I might have missed.
Just enough time to touch my heart,
but not get completely attached.


And then it's taken away.


I get angry sometimes,
Because it's not fair...
Why don't I get a chance to experience
this part of life?

Why do I only get to hold it for a short time,
Just long enough to feel it so it can be taken away?


In the end,
I guess you can say it's made me stronger...
It's made me think twice before trusting people.
But it's also made me afraid to open up.


I'm like one of those books 
with some of the pages stuck together,
hard to open at times.


Sometimes, I want it so bad,
And I attempt to go after it anyway...


And I forget how it hurts
when it's gone again.


I want it to be a part of my life so bad...
But if I don't protect myself,
I get hurt...


I pray to God every night...


Why me?
Why me?
What is it that I have to learn?


Sometimes, I wonder,
if this missing piece is some form of punishment. 
Did I do something to deserve this?


There's still so many lessons that I need to learn.


All throughout my life,
a part of me was always missing...
Like I wasn't complete,
and I was missing out.


It's been hard growing up,
and Lord knows, I've tried to forgive.
Forgiveness is an important part of life-
especially if you want to live in eternal glory.


And I reach out again and again...
But sometimes, my arms just aren't long enough.
I pray for strength, courage and the heart to forgive.


And for the thing I'm missing,
I pray for its redemption.


I continue to live my life
Loving those who are around me
and can share their love back.
I thank God that I have them...


Sometimes...
their love is almost enough to complete 
that missing void...
But then I am reminded again,
because I am handed a light
glimmer of hope.


I feel like a young child sometimes...
Moments that I should have had
were taken away.
That piece of the puzzle got bent and creased,
before it was completely lost.


But still,

a little piece of me wishes,
that I could have that missing piece.
And my life would be complete.
I wouldn't have so many questions.



Maybe one day, 
I will find out 
how or why it disappeared.


Only God knows...
And one day,
he will tell me.


And then,
I'll be complete.

The Importance of Lactobacillus Acidophilus


Being a person who deals with digestive disorders it has been important to find vitamins and nutrients that can introduce good bacteria into my body. 
After taking antibiotics several times, it can kill off ALL of the bacteria in your body-whether is is GOOD or bad... So after taking antibiotics or while you are taking antibiotics, it is good to introduce Acidophilus into your system. 


What is Acidophilus?....
What can it do for you?
To find out more, read 
"A Guide to Lactobacillus Acidophilus" below...
____________________________________________________
A Guide to Lactobacillus Acidophilus

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is also known as "good bacteria." These type of microorganisms help aid in a healthy digestive system. Not only is Acidophilus a supplement, but it is found in foods that you eat such as yogurt and soy fermented products like meso. There are some people who often have digestive issues that require prescription or non-prescription medications. Those who suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohn's disease or other digestive issues can benefit from the "good bacteria" found in Acidophilus. Such individuals may decide to purchase Acidophilus as an alternative to other prescription medications instead. Some are also more comforted at the fact of taking natural forms of medicines instead of prescriptions.

Uses
Presently, Acidophilus has not been approved by the FDA to treat diseases. It also has not been tested for safety, effectiveness and purity. Some experiments that scientists or other patients have tried, they have found some success with the body's conditions when taking regular doses of Acidophilus. Some of these include .....Click here to continue reading about Acidophilus

Dealing with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Those who know me closely, understand that I've been dealing with digestive issues for quite some time. It probably didn't totally hit me until I was in my early 20's-I noticed it more after my daughter was born.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can be a real pain and turn a good day-into a really sour one. For those who don't know, Irritable Bowel Syndrome has been described as, "a common disorder that affects your large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation. "(Mayo Clinic website).

After bouts of pain and too many trips to the bathroom, I was finally diagnosed maybe three or four years ago, althought I suffered plenty of time before that.

Since April is "IBS" month, I did a write up at Yahoo! to inform others about my life with IBS in hopes that maybe my experiences could help someone else....
You can read my story about IBS here---->"My Life's Battle with Digestive Disorders"
