It is better to keep quiet,
Where your words don't carry weight.

Is the tongue of Holy Books.

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.

Don't look beyond yourself,
What you seek is within you.

My heart wants you and only you,
So let's be soulmates,
And our hearts beat together forever and forever.

Teach your children to give and share to less fortunates on their birthdays,
Not take or expect expensive wishes to be fulfilled.

Whenever I would cook something,
And the food I cooked didn't turn up as I had planned,
I would end up giving it new name,
As a new recipe I saw on YouTube ,
And adding some different ingredients.

We met in the park,
I jostled him as a lark.
Our eyes locked,
Our souls touched,
Our hearts connected,
I felt I had known him before,
What had life for me in store,
Was it instant love.

Instead of know yourself,
Better yourself

It all happened when my husband grounded my son,
As punishment he disconnected the WIFI for a month,
Oops!I got pregnant.
My pregnancy made me super lazy,
I even got an award,
I sent my husband to collect it.
As my pregnancy proceeded,
My house became a clutter,
My husband called his mum to help,
Now, it is an army barrack,
Everything runs on schedule.
Being pregnant,I don't like watching T.V,
So I read an encyclopedia everyday,
My husband has put his set for sale,
His excuse,"You know everything."
I always look on the bright side of life,
Though I am with a fourth child,
I am very happy,
My husband has not as yet become a philosopher,
That means I am still a good wife.

When a woman ignores you and holds her silence,
Know she is hurt.
20/9/2022.

The problem with my son,
Is that he is very nice,
Soft spoken and kind,
He never tells us when he is hurt,
He waits for us to realise the mistake,
And that makes us more guilty.

Everyone will suddenly start loving you.

Was kind, gentle and patient with me
and my children,
He loved us in such a way that he would let our soul soar free,
And when he died,
We only have sweet memories of him.
Just know we love and miss you.

Cause I saw the chaos in your heart,

Three things will happen to me when I reach old age,
First,my memory will go,
The other two I can't remember.

Beholds many secrets,
Smothered with fake smiles.

You want someone to fix your life,
Forget it, take some advice,
You have to fix it yourself,
Move your ownself,
Or it will rot on a shelf.
Be your own boss,
Earn your own money with no loss,
Have your own powers,
Don't be obligated or intimidated by others.
Don't turn to be validated by any one,
All these will happen,  
People will learn to respect you,
Your dear ones will be proud of you.

I sold out my existence
in trying to buy your love.

It was a quiet, beautiful night,
With death my last fight,
I breathed  my last,
The dice was cast.
Tonight there was a full moon glowing,
The stars were sparkling,
All the Angels around me smiling,
Happy and cheering,
Me, to heaven they were taking.
As the hearse took me to the graveyard.
The city was blazed with lights
And around my soul was a halo of heavenly light.
My grave was already dug,
A beautiful Angel came and gave me a hug,
She whispered softly,"READY."

Please don't get involved in our lovers' tiff,
You may get hurt and break,
That will make me sad.

When I fall in Love,
I will dig a small grave
In my tender heart,
Where I can bury all his flaws and faults.

Make love not war,
Love will give you children,
War will **** your children.

Why is any language called
mother's tongue not father's tongue,
Cause mum's have never allowed fathers to have a say.😜🤣

You can give to your children
Is your attention
They will bloom like flowers.

I am simple,
Also ample,
I talk less,
Listen more.
Fashionable clothes and make up are not my forte,
I am enough,
My reflection is not shy of me.
I love to eat take aways  than cook,
Candle light dinners are not for me,
I can try.
I prefer  movies to romantic rendezvous  with the stars and the moon,
I spend most of my time at the library,
I write poetry too.
So if you wanna date,
I am good.

Some recipes are inherited,
passed down from one generation to another,
its ingredients and method a family secret.

I cried,
At the shoe shop all the shoes I tried,
Would not fit me
Mom said"Let it be."

Mom took me to the shoemaker,
She said,"Please make a pair of shoes for this dapper."
Yes ma'am, in a day or two,
By then we will have the leather too.

To school I reported sick,
My new shoes came within a week,
They were durable and dependable,
Cushioned  and fashionable.

I felt proud and fine,
Everyone  in school loved the design
I  could jog,run and walk miles,
Without a hitch,all smiles,

In your life,comfortable  shoes,
Removes all the blues,
Dad too,wants a custom made pair,
More wear,less tear.

the full moon saunters
hides behind the rustling leaves
an owl stares at me.

Is perfect,
But if it sticks together,
Then it is unbreakable.

When I turned my pain into my anger.

wintry  night
heavy snow fall
I find warmth with you.

Sheet of black canvas,
Sewn with glowing moon and stars,
Owls hoot on this night.

I don't walk alone,
God walks with me,
One day I asked him,
"Lord you walk with me,
In my good times and bad times,
I only see two pairs of footprints in my good times,
In my very bad,troubled  days you are not there."
"Child, the footprints you see in your troubled days are mine.
During your bad phase I carried you."

Dear Lord,
     I kneel before you in prayers,
Please do me a great favour.
     Pick the choicest roses from the Garden of Heaven,
Give them to my mum.
Tell her I don't go to her grave often,
For now,she is a soul with you in heaven,
And the miles are light years between us,
Till I meet her again, driven in a
hearse.
       All I have left of her are beautiful memories,
And the sound of her sweet voices.
Her lovely smile after a hectic day,
Her reassuring bear hugs to say,
"There's always another day.
        Tell her that I love her,
I really miss her,
And when she gives a smile,
Hold her for me for a while.

Your Servant,

I have two daughters and both are girls,
Call your parents and your mother and especially your father,
Close the window,air force come in,
Child bear sold here (chilled beer)
Go and have your *****, blood and stool tasted.
Get a free **** (coke) with each biryani.
Free body masaz done here.

Sometimes they can be a silent sign of happiness.

She nags
She shouts
She cooks, she launders, she cleans,
Thumping,strutting and waddling all day long,
A smack for us and choicest words for dad if we come in her way.
She talks and laughs out loud too,
Sometimes, she doesn't hesitate to give us her piece of her mind ,
For her a stone is a stone,
That is her, my mum,
That is her way of showing her love.
We are her world.

miss you when it rains
stuck and soaked in the downpour
need my umbrella
