Song
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
When I wrote a love song,
It rained,
Lovers danced in it and got drenched.
When I wrote a sad song,
It stormed,
It caused chaos and lovers had to run for shelter.
Now, I am afraid of writing action song,
Frightened lovers will fight and cause conflicts.
What to do?

What I Need At 70
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
I have three sons,
The eldest gave me money,
Live a good life mummy and left,
I will send you more,
I didn't want his money for I had my own,
With his I will have to be wary of thieves.
The youngest gave me a huge maisonette and a  luxurious car with a chauffeur,
Live in style mum,
No, maintaining your house and car would be a strain on my old self.
The second came with his wife and two children,
We give you ourselves and our care,
We have enough to have you with us,
To hold your hands forever,
In health and sickness,
I said Yes!

Emotions
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
Tears come from the heart,
Let them fall and cleanse the storm in your heart, your eyes too.
Anger comes from the brain,
In that time Satan takes over,
Learn to master it.
And laughter is the music of the soul,
A healing vacation.

I Miss You Dear
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
I miss my husband,
I wish I had a magic wand,
So I could fly to  heaven,
And spend some time with him in the Garden Of Eden.
Nowadays,in my garden tree sits a little Robin Bird,
Singing finest melodies I have ever heard.
It sings first thing in the morning and last at sunset,
My love comes to tell me not to be upset,
Not to worry he wants me to know,
Move on, let go.
I am here for you,
Be happy not blue,
I will come everyday,
I will never fly away.
3/9/2020.
When a robin Bird visits you it means somebody in heaven is trying to say,"I am with you.

All hundred kilos of flesh,
An open heart for all colours,

To persevere is my motto,
Clothed in strength and dignity ,
A woman of depth and substance.

MY DAUGHTER
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2020
My attitude daughter told me it was the easiest job to be a mum,
Everybody has to listen to me.
So I told her to be mum one day.
Little Johnny aged three woke her up at 2:00 am to say he wanted to ***,
Again he woke her up at 3:00am to say he was thirsty,
Christine my five year old woke her at 3:30am to say her teddy was crying,
If she would sing to him,
At 5:30am Christine said she couldn't sleep and slept with her pushing her to the edge of the bed.
At 6:30am the alarm rang for her to make breakfast and send the children to school,
By nine o'clock she gave up,
Begged me to be mummy again.

Love
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2020
Took my love to the ocean,
And as we walked along the shore hand in hand I asked my dearest to collect a fistful of water,
She cupped her hands and did so looking at me quizzicaly
I kissed her and softly whispered,
"All that is left in the ocean is how much I LOVE YOU.
