And true love is a masterpiece.

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.

Your tears under a fake smile,
Like a downpour,
Let them fall,
It's one way to heal.

With clarity and honesty
Not with an excuse,
It diminishes its sincerity.

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.

Cleanse your soul with love.

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.

Less or nothing,
Give of your heart,
That still makes a difference.

Imam Hussain had not sacrificed his head,
Humanity would have died.
Hussain stood for justice, truth and dignity.
Hussain awakens your conscience,
And I am his disciple.

To rev up my engines,
For the household chores ahead.

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.
22/6/2024

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.

Better is life with laughter,
Best is life with laughter and love.

Love is freedom.

Trouble will trouble you.
Offer no resistance,
And it will leave you.

All the bitterness and sorrow from my heart,
And await a beloved,
To light a candle in my darkness.

Some may change,
And show you their other side,
Others may pass away.

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.

Nor listens to the advice of the wise.

Shut the door,
Eat a tub of icecream,
And continue with your life.

He asked me to choose any book I loved,
I looked lovingly into his eyes,
Flickered my eyelashes,
And softly replied,"CHEQUE BOOK."

I have been given 38106000 minutes in life,
I don't think I have done anything with it,
Like being patriotic, a saint or famous,
Not to be remembered in any history books,
Except a sweet or sad memory for my family and friends.

Provoked me to love him.
