Change she did,
Her address.

And be at peace.

And be GOAT

Cause I get into their character,
And understand what they feel.

Always picked me to run her errands,
Which other pupils craved to do to be in her good books,
It was not because I was her favourite pupil,
Or picked flowers for her.
She was smart,
She knew I was very lazy,
Even to raise my hand to give answers in class.
But being lazy is lazy,
I mostly had doting pupils to do the task for me.

Myself.

I made a mistake of loving you,
And you made a mistake of leaving me.
27/3/2023

I sat in silence thinking about what I had or had not,
I realised I had more had than had not,
And what I had not were only my wishful desires and wants
24/3/2023.

Lose hope,
Try and do what the heart whispers,
Impossible will become possible.
24/3/2023

The shackles of what others think about you.
22/3/2023

Life becomes hard,
All hope is lost,
All doors close,
Remember the magic key
Prayers

Never know where you stand with an alcoholic or a liar,
Both cannot be trusted.

Ya Allah! Give me the strength to make my enemies my friends
To forgive and beg for forgiveness to those I have wronged.please
To complete reciting the whole Quran,
Fast and pray on time in masjid.
Help the needy,
Refrain from backbiting,
And hurting others in any way.
Most of all less screen time and Internet media.
Ameen.

Stop the entry of my thoughts
in my mind,
They just come at will,
But I can control their exit,
I choose what I want to say,
And react what I feel is right.
29/3/2023

Is my mobile phone,
Can't be without it,
It's the last thing I kiss good night,
And the first thing I hug in the morning.
14/3/2023

Your pain openly,
Not everyone has balm to ease it.
13/3/2023

But don't trust,
Unless you hear with your ears
Or see with your eyes.

I made her do housework when she was young,
Little did she realise,
I was training her to make her house into a home.
My grandson agrees,
I have a mum who cooks well,
Always a hot meal on the table,
A clean and happy home to come to.
Granny what you sowed we enjoy the fruits.
9/3/2023

Deeply,
But not the way I wanted,
Then I realised my expectations were selfish,
And his love was simple and straight from the heart.
8/3/2023

At heart,
Makes all the difference,
Despite wrinkles and cracking bones,
It gives you the push to still enjoy every moment of your life.
8/3/2023

Don't expect anything from love
It can be abandoned at any time.
5/3/2023

If only you will kiss me with your lips,
I will burst out into a sweet melody.
5/3/2023

Tired,
Everyone wants to have a say,
Show their talent,
Motivate,
Impart their knowledge,
Show off,
Themselves
Their pets,
And even their children
Have mercy.

Cried and cried stubborn Baby Crocket,
Cause he wanted to go on a rocket,
Mum simply said no,
Dad said,"You know,"
The giant alien will lock you in his locket.

Gives me company,
When I have nowhere to go,
Or no-one to talk to.

She neither hides the scent of her innocence,
Nor the colour of her pure soul.
Being with her you feel at peace,
I think the Divine has showered all his blessings on her.

There are many obstacles,
So it's okay to soak your heart with tears

To make your present memorable
And better your future.

Before T.V. mobiles and computers,
And sometimes no electricity,
After a day's hard work people retired early,
Bonded more,
The outcome was large families,
My grandparents had twenty one sons.
I grew up in one such extended family.
A large loving caring close knit family,
When everything is a havoc in my life,
My family is there for me without flinching.
We never had the need of outside friends,
Together us cousins went on picnics and swimming
Played in alleys marbles, cricket,
Climbed trees,
Went to each other's house,
Argued, fought ,
And even stopped talking to each other at times,
But in the end family is family.
Till today though we are distant apart,
When we meet the close bond is still there,
That also extends to third generation cousins.

Sometimes it is nice to be a fool,
To enjoy certain moments you
desire,
In that foolishness lies wisdom.
28/2/2023

If you want to be successful in life,
First be successful with your family and friends,
By giving them your time, care and love,
So that when your tenure,
As a successful and famous entrepreneur or leader ends,
Your family and friends are there for you to hold your hand and care.
18/2/2023

Is like living caged in your mind.
14/2/2023

Is to hold my silence,
And choose my words carefully,
Cause wounds pierced by words do not heal easily.

He asked me,"Where is God?"
Everywhere,
HE is also within me,
Without his will I am nothing.
Look at the beauty of nature,
You, HIS creation,
And feel HIS loving embrace.
10/2/2023

When your enemy comes
To help you in your dire need.
6/2/2023

To you,
Your mind goes blank.
You become like a tubelight,
The bulb in your brain blurs,
Or it takes some time to light,
By that time the person you are supposed to greet has already left.
It happens to me often,
I realise later the person was talking to me ,
Smiling at me as she passed by,
Or has stopped to talk to me
They feel I am arrogant,
It has soured some relationship,
Now I make it a point to phone and apologise.
I am a simple person,
I am happiest when people's
eyes twinkle when they see me.
6/2/2023

Is not measured in how much and what you have,
But how much you give.
2/2/2023

Some people just don't like you,
For no reason.
Some are indifferent to you,
And some try to find faults in you.
29/1/2023

Love has blossomed in the garden of my heart,
Poetry, love songs and sweet music are the talks my heart wants to hear,
My eyes see only the beauty in her simplicity,
And the magic in her pure soul.
Oh! The starry night,
The glowing moonlight,
Sweet sunshine,
Whisper in her ears how crazy I am about her.
26/1/2023

Your everything to anybody,
Not even to your husband,parents or children,
Keep some for yourself.
Cause when you need it they may have given it to some else who matters more in their life.
24/1/2023

My husband had only four words to say,
You cook,
Dust
Iron,
And wash.
So I reminded him marriage was 50/50 partnership,
I cook he eats,
I wash he irons
I dust he hoovers
And I spend he pays.

A zephyr in my sad, troubled life,
And finally I began to open up to him.

Is impatient,
Does not even listen to the brain.
19/1/2023

We have to strive to make it easy and happy by having,
Patience,
Enduring difficulties
And ignoring certain situations.

Leaves of one tree,
And if one leaf with your name on it falls,
The Angel of Death comes to take you.

When people are rude to you
Be silent
Don't reply back,
Your silence will show who they are and increase your worth.

Of three things,
Death, income taxes and women,
They come to take what is theirs.
