Her willingness
To stand by me in my time of need,
Is worth all the chaos she brings in my life.

With arthritis,
And tendency to fall down,
My motto is
"Slow and steady wins the race."

Sorrow
First it hurts,
Breaks your heart,
Then it changes you,
For the better or for worse.

Her Sunshine
She is the sunflower,
And he is her sunshine,
Even in the midst of darkness and storm,
With patience she stands tall,
She seeks light energy from him,
Blooming ,glowing and spreading happiness.

A Birthday
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.

I thought
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.

Hope
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.

When my mind
Becomes a bagful of thoughts,
I go to a quiet and serene place,
Like a beach,
Or a cliff with the waves crashing against the rocks,
And declutter them.

Three places
I dress modestly,
Carry a worn out handbag,
Wear worn stretchers,
Be humble and courteous,
And speak politely.
The doctor's clinic,
The lawyer's office,
The  principals office,
To minimise bills or donations.

To talk less,
To be safe from blame
But people around me asked,
If I was well,
They missed my old me,
And my continuance chatter.

Tension
My friend's story.
He was dark and not so handsome,
Never had he so much tension as that day.
As he was going to play tennis a very beautiful girl asked him for a lift,
He got tension,
Such a gorgeous girl asking him for a lift.
Not had they gone some distance the girl felt nauseated and fainted,
Tension,
He quickly took her to a hospital,
The doctor checked her and smiled,
"Congratulations you are going to be a father",
Tension,
He denied he was not the father,
She insisted he was,
Tension,
After undergoing several tests
they found he could never be a father ,
Tension,tension, tension,
Then who was the father of those two kids at his home,
Who called him dad.
