It grieves me to see you in pain,
With all those tubes sticking out,
The roots of my womb tears me apart,
My heart bleeds.
I can come and take care of your home and family,
I can run errands for you,
I can be your caretaker,
I can sit beside you to recite the Quran and duas,
Beseeching Allah to heal you.
The doctors can ease your pain,
You scream for the pain to go away,
But love, pain is the only thing that you yourself has to endure,
Pain cannot be shared, bought or sold.

That you are gifted to be alive.

To the poor and needy,
Who have accepted what you have donated.
For in fulfilling their needs,
The duas(prayers) they give from their heart,
Pleases Allah,
And you are rewarded for more than you have given.
Let there be no media when you give.

Wearing specs with thick lenses,
Having a hearing aid,
And walking with a cane,
I can see through people as clear as crystal.

Part of a person is what is inside,
Build in your children character and discipline,
So that wherever they go they leave their mark.

she is on my mind
not any part of my heart
a friend turned a foe.

I don't  care for the opinions of others,
I dress well but in attires I feel comfortable,
I eat when I want to,
I sleep when I want to.
I still coach a few students to keep me busy,
I love the feel of water,
So take my time in the shower.
I am not into meat,
I love fruits and nuts,
I must have an ice cold glass of coconut water everyday.
I keep in touch with my children, my sister, nieces, nephews and friends,
On the phone or WhatsApp,
My son and daughter ring me everyday sharing anecdotes and news of mundane things in our life.
Living alone is an advantage,
Nobody to nag you what to do.
