It is the therapist of the soul.

Was very talkative,
He got married recently,
He talks minimum,
Either he has become wiser,
Or he is afraid of his beautiful wife.

After Juma salah,
To Allah,
Beseeching HIM to make me walk without a crutch,
Without assistance on uneven roads,
I was literally whining to  Allah to give me back the quality of my life.
Then I heard a women in a wheel chair praying to Allah,
She was blind and deaf,
Her one leg was amputated,
Her body covered in rashes,
And she was being grateful to Allah for being alive,
Praying for others still lesser than her,
Tears filled my eyes,
Ungrateful me of his blessings,
Complaining of a minor inconvenience.
Looking at the other side of the coin I was truly blessed.

Had become full of conclusions
Of thoughts and ideas of my political and religious friends.
It had become a dead end
But with philosophies of compassion and kindness
I made my mind and heart into temples,
Where positivity brought about a great change.

Changed after marriage,
My daughter-in-law made me the happiest person on earth.
My son learned to brush his teeth every night before bed,
Take a bath often,
Change his briefs everyday,
Sort and take out the garbage bins,
Mow the lawn,
Also learned to help his wife around the house,
Made morning tea.
Simple magic,
HE WAS IN LOVE,
And love is blind.

Fifty years before,
People and doctors too had more patience.
When I was pregnant with my first child,
Everytime I went to the clinic,
Everything was fine,
The child was doing well.
But I was long overdue,
But patience has its rewards.
I would have fake pains,
And now and again I would urge mum to take me to the hospital immediately.
Being a mother of five,
She would ask if the pains were at an interval of two minutes,
No!
Then one time being exasperated and orthodox,
She said, "Everything unfolds at its own pace,
When Allah wishes your womb will open and you will give birth.
You may nurture the plant endlessly,
But the fruit is only borne in its season.
She was right,
Although I had a painful labour,
I gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
