Will keep you going in old age

Aren't you afraid to live alone in this big house,
No, I have Allah with me 24/7.

I never wear ready made clothes,
I have all my clothes stitched according to my culture
I like them to be a bit loose so I am comfortable in them,
What with the hot tropical climate.
I am very particular about my food,
I rarely buy takeaways,
I try my best to cook what I like at home.
Going to restaurants my mind
acts weird,
It asks if the chef has washed his hand,
Is he smoking when handling the food,
Hope he does not wipe sweat with his hands,
So I go to restaurants that serve barbecues,
Or food that is piping hot.
My skin is very sensitive,
I don't have the luxury of wearing beautiful trendy foot wear,
Only simple open sandals for me.
I am not a fan of meat or fish,
So I make up by having lots of nuts.
I love icecreams and savoury snacks .
I lead a simple life,
Satisfied with what I have .
without any expectations.
28/7/2023

Why I left,
Your heart knows.
24/7/2023

You see empty houses and clothes,
But no humans.
24/7/2023

Going to sleep,
In your name Ya Allah,
I live and die.
20/7/2023

Makes the bones and muscles strong,
Difficulties and problems make the mind strong,
By trying to find solutions.
17/7/2023

For man is true,
That is his downfall
He is conquered by the woman he loves.
15/7/2023

Love forever,
But you can leave forever.
15/7/2023

With my reflection,
Simple and mediocre,
But I am comfortable with it,
I am created like that for a reason,
Those who know me say,
I am warm and comfortable to be with.
8/7/2023

To understand that nothing ever remains the same,
You will learn to accept the change as a challenge.
7/7/2023

Then one day I stopped being what others wanted me to be.
5/7/2023

Treasured you in my heart,
Nor in my eyes,
But in my soul.
For a kind person with inner beauty,
And a pure soul like you,
Who pours sunshine of happiness on me,
Deserves to be my soulmate.
3/7/2023

Colourful,
Using the whole box of crayons
Splurge,
Until only bits and pieces are left.
3/7/2023

one fine crisp morning
butterflies nudged the flowers
just out of cocoon

Are not always meant to show sorrow and pain,
Sometimes they can be a silent sign of happiness.

An open book,
Reserve some side of yourself,
To yourself.
21/6/2023

Become a corpse,
And Rest In Peace,
If you go to Heaven.
Face the fire,
If you go to Hell.
20/6/2023

Yelling at your children,
Shows you really care and love them.
13/6/2023

The day I die,
When my soul leaves my body,
It is light as a feather, pure and smiling.
10/6/2023

Age does not control my life,
I am still full of life,
But disability has slowed me down.
7/6/2023

Snuggle,
And cuddle,
Young or old,
Makes things right in the world.
About someone you care,
Be their Teddy bear,
Cuddles everyday,
Keeps the stress away.
4/6/2023

Expect nothing,
Accept everything.

Towards life,
Reflects your mind and soul.

Mathematics
Algebra, geometry arithmetic,
For some it is fun
Divide by same number it is one,
Plus, minus  multiply and divide,
With many maths rules you have to abide.
Others swell up in wrath,
To walk the tricky path.
Maths is full of calculation,
But the problem is multiplication.
In the 80's when my children misbehaved
Neither I shouted nor raved,
My hands I raised not,
But made them learn times tables by rote,
And with soda tops made them solve plus and minus sums
And if they got all right I rewarded them with candies and chewing gum.

Is I,
The rest are opinions.
27/5/2023

Problems are solved,
If you learn to say no.
26/5/2023

I feel sad,
I listen to music,
And go to sleep.
24/3/2023

Itself is a miracle,
And you are the masterpiece.
24/5/2023

Your mind,
And you will heal your heart.
23/5/2023

Will happen,
If you read my poem and comment😄
23/5/2023

Not publicity,
KINDNESS.
23/5/2023

Has neither guarantee
Nor warranty,
If you get love you are blessed,
If not heartbreak.

My son was in his late teens,
It took him four minutes to fall in love,
Following her meekly everywhere
Spending most of his earnings on her,
It took him two years to open his eyes,
And break up with her.

Is a cleaner,
That polishes you to something wiser and better.
20/5/2023

Train your mind to control your emotions ,
Be a master not a loser.
19/5/2023.

I am at a stagnant stage,
Nothing seems to go right for me,
People I loved and cared about are deceased,
In relationship I have always ended up being treated unjustly,
They say everything comes to an end,
But my life has been like this for years,
Perhaps that is my Karma.

Want to find heaven on Earth,
Visit the shrine of Imam Hussein.
15/5/2023

Of spending much on your body,
Taking utmost care of it,
You must protect your soul,
Don't blemish it,
For your soul will return to your creator,
While your body will be carcass buried in the soil.

Everything is a choice.

I found him first,
So he is mine.
8/5/2023

We speak our mother tongue at home which is Gujrati,
My children went to school which was an English speaking medium,
So it was important they could write and speak English fluently,
So even at home I would insist they speak in English,
Now my children are married,
And have settled in England,
Afraid my grandchildren would forget their mother tongue,
I insist they speak Gujrati at home,
However, there is one consolation,
Religion lessons they attend are taught in our language.

Someone's happiness,
Bring a sparkle to his eyes,
Lighten his face,
And soften his heart,
So he feels relaxed and contented.
5/3/2023

The sincerity of a person lies during one's hardships,
And find how much your children love you in your old age.
4/5/2023

After you tie the knot,
Change your I into we,
It is mine into ours,
Don't break trust,
And try to communicate.
5/3/2023

It's inherent,
Not any act,
Reflects your soul.

my cute grumpy aunt
under the sweltering sun
helped me find my dog.
8/4/2023

Being loved is not enough,
You need to go out into the world,
To find people who need love,
And through the light in their hearts,
You will reach a new level of happiness,
And fly high enough to touch the universe.
8/4/2023

Teaches you to value silence,
And listen to the melody of nature.
