Salmabanu Hatim Dec 2023
I am done with material things,
The most precious gifts you can give me is your TIME and PATIENCE.
Sit with me and listen,
Talk to me,
Do not be frustrated if I ask you the same questions again and again,
Or I ask you to repeat something.
Light a candle with your presence,
In my darkness,
With patience wait for me to step back into light.
My life now is black and white,
While the world around me is colourful
Splash some of your beautiful colours onto me.
If life is all about sharing and caring,
By giving me some of your time and patience,
I get a part of you my love,
Which I crave most
That's all I want.

looking for my dentures,
the whole house is in uproar,
wife is using them.

bought you birthday cake,
waited hours at the bus stop
ate the yummy cake.

We were married,
I found I only loved him,
I realised his heart was an enclosed space,
I had no place in it,
I had no desire to be a cushion,
For somebody else's wounds he carried.

A self made rich man,
Then you are not obligated to your in-laws.

A thought creeps into my mind over and over,
Jesus taught us to give to the poor,
We give wonderful presents to each other,
Some unwanted,
That becomes tomorrow's garage sales.
Sing all the Christmas Carol's,
Till they send you off with enough bucks,
Don't over drink at a office Christmas party,
Less you have to look for a new job afterwards.
The Christians will pray in the Church for a better another year,
While others will sit at home and ponder what they achieved this year.
With little more cheer,
Be a little nicer,
Smile a little easier,
After all it's Christmas,
The coming of Santa Claus.

Cursing loudly,
Reduces stress,
Pent up emotions,
And lightens your heart.
