If you can't win them,
Join them,
And if you can't convince them,
Confuse them.

My heart beats for you,
I adore your smile,
I always think of taking you out for dinner,
But, I hear you eat a lot,
I am afraid my wallet cannot handle the bill.😜

Cockroach,  Cockroach , what are you doing in my soup,
In the kitchen I was playing hoop la hoop,
And I fell in you soup mister,
It's hot and I am getting blisters,
Scoop me with your spoon,
Before I swoon.
Please don't shout or scream,
I will be thrown out of the kitchen of my dream,
Filthy and messy,
With rotten fish, slimy and smelly,
Red meat in blood,
And fungi on sauces and salads with mould,
Never scrubbed,the kitchen,
For thousands of us it's heaven.
Be a pal,
Go away with your gal,
At least I did you a favour,
Not eating in this yucky place forever.

We are the sun and moon,
Parents of earthlings,
Moon is the mother,
Glowing with love for her earthlings,
She borrows light from me so that her children are not in the dark,
Lullabies her tiny tots to sleep,
Provides romantic ambience to lovers,
She gives day and night,
Tides to ebb and flow,
And keep their home the earth balanced on its axis,
At sunrise she begs me to look after them properly,
Motherly Love
As a father I sustain them,
I give them light, heat and energy,
So they are not cold,
They have food on their table,
And oxygen to breathe.
I cause seasons for them to enjoy.
But our children are as stubborn as a mule,
Egoistic and inconsiderate,
With no compassion for their parents,
They have created Satans,
Money and weapons of mass destruction,
Trying to outdo one another,
And destroy what we have lovingly given them,
By playing this super game called
POLITICS

He came,
Spurted a teaspoon of ***** inside her:
A politician,
A model,
A traitor,
A patriot,
A teacher, nurse, doctor,
An artist, a poet, a writer,............ and I,
A swimming gold medallist.
We all swam to reach the ****,
I was Y and I merged withX first,
A new swimming sensation was born.

Leaves change with the seasons,
In time so do we
In winter the trees are bare
So are our eyes dry
With no more tears.

After marriage,
A husband does not change,
A wife does not change,
But after getting children,
Both change
Their lifestyle changes.

I was a dark canvas like the night sky,
Grumpy and annoying,
Then she came into my life,
A gorgeous star full of sparkle,
Glistening with love.
Her goodness opened my heart,
Like a rose about to bloom.
My life took a turn,
Brimming with sunshine,
Filling me with joy and laughter like a babbling brook,
Magically she twinkled away all my bitterness and sorrow.
Taught me to forget my past,
Worry away my sorrows,
And enjoy my today.
I am happy she is here,
To share my thoughts and understand me,
To make me aware how special life is.

The Angel of Death is busy,
The Angels are busy collecting souls,
There is chaos in afterlife.
Accountability has gone haywire,
Souls meant for heaven have ended up in hell,
And vice versa.
Plea from above,
Vaccinate as many as you can to curb deaths.

How I ended up in a love triangle,
The fault was not his,
Neither hers,
Nor mine,
We just learned to share what we had.

Do charity during your
Lifetime,
After your death it will be
out of your control.
Salmabanu Hatim Feb 2020
Charity is the act of giving without expecting anything in return,
It is solely to please God,
"What your right hand gives your left hand should not know,
My Guru says to always thank the person who has taken charity
from you,
For that person has helped you to please God.

When you give,
Be grateful to the taker,
For he has done you a favour,
Cause your rewards will be greater than your good deed.
10/11/2023
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2019
Charity begins at home,
And home is our earth,
God chose you,
He gave you billions to conquer
hunger, not space,
Eradicate poverty, not humanity,
Give hope.
Do not defraud God and apply to any other purpose.
HE knows when and how to end the world.

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.

I changed the names of the girls on his phone,
And mixed their numbers,
And then calmly waited for the drama to unfold.

At the end of his speech,
Everybody woke clapped and cheered,
I,the most.
Not because his speech was awesome,
But, we had stretched the limit of boredom.
Salmabanu Hatim Jun 2018
I cheer my son in many ways,
Most three hundred and sixty-five days.
I hug him close,
Say,"Can't do without you boss."
Sometimes I see him tense,
Something is wrong I sense,
I kiss his fears away,
Together we kneel and pray.
Out of the blue,
I tell him,"I love you."
He gives me a smile,
Holds onto me for a while.
I sit and  listen as he talks about his day,
I laugh with him and say,
"You are okay."
I discipline him with love,
So that my little dove,
Does not become wild,
Is well mannered and mild.
I let him use his own mind,
His ways he learns to find.
A hug a day,
Keeps your child happy and gay.
It is important to find time for your children.Gives them confidence and courage.

Childhood is when you dance to the beat of your own heart,
Laugh in abundance,
Soak in innocence,
Roam without care or stress,
Happy you,
Carefree you
Free of spirit,
Like a bird that soars in the sky.
When you find solace in your mother's lap,
When bruised knees and elbows
are easier  to heal,
Than a shattered heart,
When a puddle is an opportunity
to enjoy than an obstacle,
When toys, and icecreams matter more,
A war for a chocolate bar,
When you have little fights,
Then, hug each other tight.
Childhood is when you are loved by everyone,
When you are your parents happiness,
When grandparents have lots of time to play with you,
They never tire reading you the same story again and again,
Don't mind if you have an extra helping.
Your childhood is stored in your
memories,
An old book,  smells or textures, a certain habit or food.
No pain, no heartaches.
Hold onto some of your childhood tightly.

After the rites we threw it in the crowd,
Waited with baited breath.........
To see who was next.

A house without children is..
peaceful, neat, orderly and quiet,
But, it is bare like a tree without fruits.
Salmabanu Hatim Oct 2023
Are blank papers,
Innocent and sinless,
My prayers for them,
Let them wake up in the morning,
In Peace
Not in pieces,
A smile on their faces,
Not tears in their eyes,
With family by their side
Not as orphans.
Let them not be scapegoats of our wounds.
Children are a gift,
If you have one child,
You are truly blessed.
