Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2024
Is to celebrate with others,
By doing good deeds,
Make your parents and grandparents happy ,
See to their needs ,
Be kind and helpful to your siblings.
On your birthday,
Go out and do charity as per your possibility,
Help the needy and less fortunate.
The smiles and happiness you will scatter,
Will sow thousands of rewards,
For it will make Allah happy.

Is a piece of art work,
And true love is a masterpiece.

And I thought ,
What best gift I could give my grandsons to remember me by,
As I live in Tanzania I invited them to climb Mt Kilimanjaro,
The highest mountain in Africa,
They scaled up to Uhuru Peak at 5895 meters and back to Horombo camp in just four days.
They said it was an awesome experience.
Tomorrow I will send them to Zanzibar,
Their grandfathers birthplace,
To enjoy its beautiful white beaches,
Jet skiing, snorkeling,  and swimming with the dolphins,
Not to forget Old Stone Town, with its Arab and kiswahili culture,
Narrow alleys,
A must to spend the evening at Forodhani ,
And enjoy its foodstalls.

Your tears under a fake smile,
Like a downpour,
Let them fall,
It's one way to heal.

With clarity and honesty
Not with an excuse,
It diminishes its sincerity.

Hope is when you stand on the threshold of darkness
On one side,
And move to light,
On the other side.
Hope is the master key that opens the doors of hardships and despair,
That befalls on you.
Hope is having trust in Allah,
Giving you peace,
Knowing your troubles will not last forever.
Have Hope,
Be patient,
Be constant in prayer,
And hope will stop your heart from breaking,
Knowing with faith a miracle will happen.
