warded at Pantai
Well, after a lapse of almost 4 years, I had the "luxury" of being hospitalized again... for food poisoning! Anyway, it was more for the high blood pressure that kept going up by the minute after I 'reported' at the emergency unit of Pantai... well, I was discharged after 2 nights of sleeping soundly (the doc gave me sleeping pills), and felt refreshed afterwards...
My kids' school days.. so far
It's already mid-Feb, and Aisyah & Qaiyum are already settled in their new surroundings... abang is now the class monitor, and just last week, he mentioned that he might be appointed a prefect, if his monthly test turns out fine.
As for Aisyah, she is now in 1Gemilang 2 (1G2), and has repeatedly told us that she enjoys school. In the first week, she brought along some food from home. However, after realising that she can buy stuff on her own, she began enjoying it and no longer wants to bring food, as she prefers buying things at the canteen. However, in the second week, she did not realise that RM0.30 means 30sen, she thot it was 30ringgit. So she didn't buy any drink cos she only has Rm2. So cute! Lucky that she takes along her tumbler of drinks!
Two weeks ago, we discovered that she has this penchant for "shopping" at the school's bookstore. So far, she has purchased 2 blocks of plasticine, a pen, and a ruler. The dad did tell her not to buy unnecessary stuff after she bought the 2nd box of plasticine. But her reason was that it was for her baby sis. Well. fair enuff. However, the dad blew his top when she was caught lying last week. When asked what she did with her xtra 1 ringgit, she said that she used it to buy a cup of Milo, which cost RM1. Somehow, our darling little spy discovered a new ruler in her sis' bag, and when asked further, she admitted to using the money to buy the ruler.
Hm, I hope this episode will make her learn not to lie... and my wish is that she would learn to be truthful and be brave in facing any consequences of her actions...

Aisyah's school blues...
My darling first girl, Aisyah Nur Qurratuain, registered for her primary schooling at SK Batu Berendam 2, yesterday. Like any other mom of first-time schoolers, I was anxious that she would find it difficult to adjust to a new surrounding, so all of us accompanied her to the school in the early morning. She did cry a bit during the assembly, and when she first went to class, but calmed down afterwards.
We left her on her own for a while to cater to some stuff, like getting abang's photos taken, and went home to get ready for abang's school. Then, when baby n me arrived around 12.30, we saw her happily coloring some pictures, and did not notice our presence for some 10 mins...
Well, I pray that my darling girl would do fine in school!!!

Baby masuk hospital...
Last Friday, I was down with a bad cold. Thinking that it was just one of the common flu bugs, I took some meds and told the kids not to bother me as I had to sleep as the pill made me drowsy. By afternoon, I was quite okay. However, at nite, my throat felt more swollen than before.
Come morning, I was so tired I could hardly move my limbs. And too bad, it had infected Ayum and Nisa as well. Once at the clinic, I discovered that our temp was 39! The moment the doc heard of her fit history, she immediately gave her the sub pill. When we got back, her fever had subsided. She seemed okay for the whole day. Abang was ok by evening, and the same could be said for me.
However, at 9, her fever was back. After inserting the sub, her temp seemed ok. However, I woke up at 1.15 to check on her (had set the clock earlier), and discovered that the temp had gone up. I sponged her after inserting another sub, but it didn't seem to work. By 3, the fever did not seem to subside at all. I was getting worried sick, so I woke up papa who immediately bathed her. Nothing seemed to lessen the temp, thus we decided to take her to the emergency ward of Pantai.
Once there, it was discovered that her fever had climbed to a dangerous 39.5.

Raya
Why am I talking about raya now? ahaha, cos I forgot to put up a post on raya, so, the pics pun tak banyak...
Kali ni tak banyak sangat ambil gambar raya.. sebab masing2 terkejar2 sana sini... This year's Aidil Adha, we basically sambut at home.. and according to hubby, starting next year, nak sambut kat rumah pun... senang, cos we don't have to lug our stuff all over the place unnecessarily. So, what we'll do is to cook at home, carry our stuff over, and come home at night... anak2 dah besar pun!
the princess and her kilat2 shoes...
main bunga api.. - tokeynya, Cekeduk!

The days blur past....
Oh my, it's already the 3rd week of December! There's just another 16 more days to go before 2010 dawns... gosh!
Last week, on Tuesday, I twisted my ankle, which is still blue-black from the encounter. The moment it happened, the pain was really excruciating. Hm, serves me right for being more concerned with my baju than watching the pavement.
Anyway, yesterday, we went to the Ayer Panas hot spring in Bemban. The entrance fee is RM6 for adults and RM3 for kids, so we had to fork out RM21 in all (the rate is cheaper by RM1 on weekdays). However, it was quite disappointing as the pools were not well-managed, as it was dirty, especially the kids' pool - there goes my plan of frequenting the place! Anyhow, the hot spring area was quite okay, there were a number of "tubs" which ranged from lukewarm - hot. And thus, last night, my leg began "acting up", could it be due to reaction to the minerals in the water?
And last weekend as well, I did some baking, where I tried out the apple crumble pie recipe - yummy!!! The weekend before, it was the western affair, where I tried roast chicken with mushroom gravy, lasagna n shepherd pie.. I think I'm now very good at making mashed potato! So, I got to plan ahead for this weekend, for I am heading over to Uda's place to claim Ayum's present... Or, shall I ask them to come over?

Useful kitchen tips
1. For cleaning smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, just rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel is supposed to absorb the odor.
2. Fresh coffee beans can also absorb nasty odors from your hands.
3. If you happen to over-salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.
4. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.
5. Never put citrus fruits or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade the aroma and flavor of these pernickety fruits.
6. To clean cast iron cookwear, dont use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean, dry paper towel.
7. Will milk curdle if it is allowed to boil? It turns out that this age-old piece of wisdom isnt true, after all. Milk that has been boiled is perfectly safe to consume.
8. To clean an electric kettle with calcium buildup on the heating element, boil a mixture of half white vinegar and half water, then empty.
9. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.
10. If you are making gravy and accidentally burn it, just pour it into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add sugar a little at a time, tasting as you go to avoid over-sugaring it. The sugar will cancel out the burned taste.
11. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of white bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the burned flavor. Be careful not to scrape the burned pieces off of the bottom of the pan when serving the rice.
12. Before you chop chili peppers, rub a little vegetable oil into your hands and your skin wont absorb the spicy chili oil.
13. If you arent sure how fresh your eggs are, place them in about four inches of water. Eggs that stay on the bottom are fresh. If only one end tips up, the egg is less fresh and should be used soon. If it floats, its past the fresh stage.
14. To banish ants from the kitchen, find out where they are coming in and cover the hole with petroleum jelly. Ants wont trek through the jelly. If they are coming under a door, draw a line on the floor with chalk. The little bugs also wont cross a line of chalk.
15. Before making popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, soak the kernels in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, then pop as normal. The additional moisture helps the popcorn pop up quicker and fluffier with fewer old maids.
16. Don't store your bananas in a bunch or in a fruit bowl with other fruits. Separate your bananas and place each in a different location. Bananas release gases which cause fruits (including other bananas) to ripen quickly. Separating them will keep them fresh longer.
17. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.
18. If you manage to have some leftover wine at the end of the evening, freeze it in ice cube trays for easy addition to soups and sauces in the future.
19. To clean crevices and corners in vases and pitchers, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets. The bubbles will do the scrubbing.
20. After boiling pasta or potatoes, cool the water and use it to water your house plants. The water contains nutrients that your plants will love.
21. When you clean your fish tank, the water you drain can also be used to water your house plants. The nitrogen and phosphorus in fish droppings make aquarium water a great fertilizer.
22. When defrosting meat from the freezer, pour some vinegar over it. Not only does it tenderize the meat; it will also bring down the freezing temperature of the meat and cause it to thaw quicker.
23. The substance in onions that causes your eyes to water is located in the root cluster of the onion. Cut this part out in a cone shape, with the largest part of the cone around the exterior root section.
24. Taking the top layer off of a onion can also reduce the amount of eye-watering misery.
25. Toothpaste is a great silver cleaner.
26. Baking soda isn't as effective a deodorizer for the fridge as that baking soda company would like you to believe. Activated charcoal is much better at absorbing fridge and freezer odors.
27. Baking soda is an extremely effective cleaner, though. Use it with vinegar to deodorize drains and clean stovetops and sinks.
28. A favorite tip of thousands of grandmas: when you nick your finger while cutting veggies, wait until the bleeding stops and paint on a layer of clear nail polish. It will keep juices out of the wound and won't fall into the spaghetti sauce like a bandage.
29. The jury is still out on what to put in the bag of brown sugar to keep it from going hard: a slice of apple, a piece of bread, and a shard of a terra cotta pot have all been used.
30. Got a nasty invisible splinter from your kitchen tools? Put a piece of adhesive tape on the area and then pull it off to remove the splinter.
31. When you burn yourself in the kitchen, just spread mustard on the affected area. Leave it for a while and it will ease the pain and prevent blistering.
32. For aluminum pans that are looking dull, just boil some apple peels in them. This will brighten up the aluminum and make your house smell yummy.
33. To keep cookies fresh, savvy grannies like to put some crumpled-up tissue paper in the bottom of the cookie jar.
34. If your salt is clumping up, put a few grains of rice in with it to absorb excess moisture.
35. To clean fruit stains off of your fingers, rub them with a fresh, peeled potato. White vinegar can also do the trick.
36. Keep lettuce fresh in the fridge by wrapping it in a clean, dry paper towel and storing lettuce and paper towel in a sealed baggie in the fridge.
37. If your loaf of bread is starting to go stale, just put a piece of fresh celery in the bag and close it back up. For some reason, this restores a fresh taste and texture to the bread.
38. Always keep an aloe vera plant in your kitchen. Its invaluable when you scrape your arm or burn your finger. Just break off a leaf and rub the gel from the inside on the injury.
39. When making a soup, sauce, or casserole that ends up too fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out.
40. To reuse cooking oil without tasting whatever was cooked in the oil previously, cook a 1/4 piece of ginger in the oil. It will remove any remaining flavors and odors.
41. If your milk always goes bad before you can finish it, try adding a pinch of salt to the carton when you first open it. It will stay fresh days longer.
42. Water that has been boiled and allowed to cool will freeze faster than water from the tap. This comes in handy when youre having a party and need ice pronto.
43. Remove tea or coffee stains from your fine china by mixing up a paste of baking soda, lemon juice, and cream of tartar. Rub it over the stains and theyll come off easily.
44. If two drinking glasses become stuck together after stacking, its not impossible to unstick them. Just put ice in the inner glass and dunk the outer glass in warm water. The warm glass will expand and the cold glass will contract, making the glasses separate easily.
45. For splinters under the fingernail, soaking the affected finger in a bowl of milk with a piece of bread in it is said to draw out the splinter.
46. Did grandpa ever give you a drink of cola for an upset tummy? It turns out that this is actually a pretty effective remedy. The sugar and carbonation can soothe many tummy problems - but it can also exacerbate others.
47. Putting salty bacon on a boil is said to draw the poison out of boils.
48. To help old wooden drawers (without runners) open and close smoothly, rub a candle on the tracks.
49. A cotton ball soaked in white vinegar and applied to a fresh bruise will reduce the darkness of the bruise and help it disappear sooner.
50. Drinking cranberry juice and eating blueberries regularly will help stave off urinary tract infections.
2. Fresh coffee beans can also absorb nasty odors from your hands.
3. If you happen to over-salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

some thoughts to ponder upon...
Doktor memulakan syarahannya dengan membawa para hadirin memikirkan sejenak dengan hadith yang maknanya sedikit sebanyak "Dalam diri-diri kamu ada kebesaran Tuhan". Doktor menyuruh kita melihat kedua tapak tangan dan perhatikan garis-garis di tapak tangan kita. Garisan-garisan di tangan kiri menunjukkan angka 8 dan 1 dalam Bahasa Arab dan tangan kanan 1 dan 8 dan membawa ke jumlah 81 + 18 = 99 iaitu bilangan nama Allah.
Berikut adalah antara intipati syarahannya secara ringkas:-
1. Cara makan, kenapa kita gunakan tangan? Mengikut cara Rasulullah s.a.w,
beliau akan menggaulkan lauk dan nasi dengan tangan kanannya dan kemudian
membiarkan sebentar, lalu Rasullah saw akan mengambil sedikit garam
menggunakan jari kecilnya(yg last tu), lalu Rasullah saw akan menghisap
garam itu. Kemudian barulah Rasulullah makan nasi dan lauknya.
Mengapa? Kerana kedua belah tangan kita ada mengeluarkan 3 macam enzim, tetapi konsentrasi di tangan kanan kurang sedikit dari yg kiri. Ini adalah kerana enzim yg ada di tangan kanan itu merupakan enzim yang dapat menolong proses penghadaman (digestion), ia merupakan the first process of digestion.
Mengapa menghisap garam? Kerana garam adalah sumber mineral dari tanah yg diperlukan oleh badan kita. Dua cecah garam dari jari kita itu adalah sama dgn satu liter air mineral. Kita berasal dari tanah maka lumrahnya bahan yang asal dari bumi (tanah) inilah yg paling berkhasiat untuk kita.
Kenapa garam? Selain dari sebab ia adalah sumber mineral, garam juga adalah penawar yang paling mujarab bagi keracunan, mengikut Dr., di hospital-hospital, the first line of treatment for poisoning adalah dengan memberi Sodium Chloride, iaitu GARAM. Garam juga dapat menghalang sihir dan makhluk-makhluk halus yang ingin menggangu manusia.
2. Cara Rasulullah mengunyah - Rasulullah akan mengunyah sebanyak 40 kali
untuk membiarkan makanan itu betul-betul lumat agar perut kita senang
memproseskan makanan itu.
3. Membaca Basmalah (Bismillahirrahma Nirrahim). Membaca Basmalah sebelum
makan untuk mengelakkan penyakit. Kerana bakteria dan racun ada membuat
perjanjian dengan Allah swt, apabila Basmalah dibaca maka bakteria dan racun akan musnah
dari sumber makanan itu.
Cara Rasulullah minum.
Janganlah kita minum berdiri walaupun ia makruh tetapi ia makruh yang menghampiri kepada haram. Jangan kita minum dari bekas yg besar dan jangan bernafas sedang kita minum. Kerana apabila kita minum dari bekas yg besar, lumrahnya kita akan meneguk air dan dalam proses minum itu, kita tentu akan bernafas dan menghembuskan nafas dari hidung kita. Kerana apabila kita hembus, kita akan mengeluarkan CO2 iaitu carbon dioxide, yang apabila bercampur dgn air H20, akan menjadi H2CO3, iaitu sama dengan cuka, menyebabkan minuman itu menjadi acidic.
Jangan meniup air yg panas, sebabnya sama diatas.
Cara minum, seteguk bernafas, seteguk bernafas sehingga habis.
4. Mengapa Islam menyuruh di sebat 100 kali orang belum berkahwin yang berzina, dan
merejam sehingga mati org yg sudah berkahwin yang berzina?
Badan manusia akan mengeluarkan sel-sel darah putih atau antibiotik yg dapat melawan penyakit. Dan sel-sel ini terdapat di daerah tulang belakang, berdekatan dengan sum-sum tulang manusia.
Lelaki yang belum berkahwin dia akan dapat mengeluarkan beribu-ribu sel ini, manakala lelaki yang sudah berkahwin hanya dapat menghasilkan 10 unit sel ini sehari, kerana antara sebabnya ialah kerana sel-sel lain akan hilang kerana perhubungan suami isteri. Jadi apabila lelaki yang belum berkahwin didapati salah kerana zina hendaklah disebat 100 kali. Ini adalah kerana apabila dia disebat di belakangnya, suatu amaran tentang kesakitan itu akan membuatkan penghasilan beribu sel antibiotik yang dapat melawan virus HIV jika ia ada di badannya, dengan itu dapatlah antibodi melawan virus HIV itu. Tetapi jika lelaki itu sudah berkahwin, walaupun disebat 100 kali ia akan tetap menghasilkan 10 unit antibodi sahaja, jadi dengan itu hukumannya direjam hingga mati agar dia tidak dapat merebakkan virus HIV itu.
Itulah sedikit sebanyak inti syarahan yg disampaikan oleh Dr Jamnul Azhar.
Harap ia akan memberi manfaat pada anda sekalian, dan sedikit informasi
yang diberikan oleh Mudaris (guru) ana, Mudaris Iskandar mengenai Ka'bah.
5. Mengapa ia terletak di Mekah al-Mukarramah dan mengapa ia empat persegi
(cube). Ia terletak di posisinya sekarang kerana setelah dibuat kajian oleh
para cendikiawan dari Pakistan dan Arab, didapati, tempat terletaknya
Ka'bah sekarang itu, adalah betul-betul di tengah bumi.
Mengapa ia empat persegi, ia melambangkan perpaduan ummah yang bergerak maju bersama, equality and unity, tidak seperti bentuk pyramid, dimana ia diumpamakan, seperti hanya seorang pemenang yg berada diatas setelah ia memijak-mijak yang lain. Dan antara lagi sebab mengapa 4 persegi melambangkan 4 imam besar, Maliki, Hambali, Hanafi dan Syafi'i, melambangkan kebenaran keempat-empat Imam tersebut.
Berikut adalah antara intipati syarahannya secara ringkas:-
1. Cara makan, kenapa kita gunakan tangan? Mengikut cara Rasulullah s.a.w,
beliau akan menggaulkan lauk dan nasi dengan tangan kanannya dan kemudian
membiarkan sebentar, lalu Rasullah saw akan mengambil sedikit garam

3. Membaca Basmalah (Bismillahirrahma Nirrahim). Membaca Basmalah sebelum
makan untuk mengelakkan penyakit. Kerana bakteria dan racun ada membuat
perjanjian dengan Allah swt, apabila Basmalah dibaca maka bakteria dan racun akan musnah
dari sumber makanan itu.
Cara Rasulullah minum.
Janganlah kita minum berdiri walaupun ia makruh tetapi ia makruh yang menghampiri kepada haram. Jangan kita minum dari bekas yg besar dan jangan bernafas sedang kita minum. Kerana apabila kita minum dari bekas yg besar, lumrahnya kita akan meneguk air dan dalam proses minum itu, kita tentu akan bernafas dan menghembuskan nafas dari hidung kita. Kerana apabila kita hembus, kita akan mengeluarkan CO2 iaitu carbon dioxide, yang apabila bercampur dgn air H20, akan menjadi H2CO3, iaitu sama dengan cuka, menyebabkan minuman itu menjadi acidic.
Jangan meniup air yg panas, sebabnya sama diatas.
Cara minum, seteguk bernafas, seteguk bernafas sehingga habis.
4. Mengapa Islam menyuruh di sebat 100 kali orang belum berkahwin yang berzina, dan
merejam sehingga mati org yg sudah berkahwin yang berzina?
Badan manusia akan mengeluarkan sel-sel darah putih atau antibiotik yg dapat melawan penyakit. Dan sel-sel ini terdapat di daerah tulang belakang, berdekatan dengan sum-sum tulang manusia.
Lelaki yang belum berkahwin dia akan dapat mengeluarkan beribu-ribu sel ini, manakala lelaki yang sudah berkahwin hanya dapat menghasilkan 10 unit sel ini sehari, kerana antara sebabnya ialah kerana sel-sel lain akan hilang kerana perhubungan suami isteri. Jadi apabila lelaki yang belum berkahwin didapati salah kerana zina hendaklah disebat 100 kali. Ini adalah kerana apabila dia disebat di belakangnya, suatu amaran tentang kesakitan itu akan membuatkan penghasilan beribu sel antibiotik yang dapat melawan virus HIV jika ia ada di badannya, dengan itu dapatlah antibodi melawan virus HIV itu. Tetapi jika lelaki itu sudah berkahwin, walaupun disebat 100 kali ia akan tetap menghasilkan 10 unit antibodi sahaja, jadi dengan itu hukumannya direjam hingga mati agar dia tidak dapat merebakkan virus HIV itu.
Itulah sedikit sebanyak inti syarahan yg disampaikan oleh Dr Jamnul Azhar.
Harap ia akan memberi manfaat pada anda sekalian, dan sedikit informasi
yang diberikan oleh Mudaris (guru) ana, Mudaris Iskandar mengenai Ka'bah.
5. Mengapa ia terletak di Mekah al-Mukarramah dan mengapa ia empat persegi
(cube). Ia terletak di posisinya sekarang kerana setelah dibuat kajian oleh
para cendikiawan dari Pakistan dan Arab, didapati, tempat terletaknya
Ka'bah sekarang itu, adalah betul-betul di tengah bumi.
Mengapa ia empat persegi, ia melambangkan perpaduan ummah yang bergerak maju bersama, equality and unity, tidak seperti bentuk pyramid, dimana ia diumpamakan, seperti hanya seorang pemenang yg berada diatas setelah ia memijak-mijak yang lain. Dan antara lagi sebab mengapa 4 persegi melambangkan 4 imam besar, Maliki, Hambali, Hanafi dan Syafi'i, melambangkan kebenaran keempat-empat Imam tersebut.

"Don't worry about tomorrow. After all, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday."
How true... life is a never-ending cycle...
"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible,
and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 50's, 60's and 70's!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or
drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a
can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with
bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or
cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not
to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air
bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a
special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle
and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda
pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE
WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long
as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps
and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot
the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we
learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video
games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies,
no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no
Internet or Internet chat rooms...WE HAD FRIENDS and we went
outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and
there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did
not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games
with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it
would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on
the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to
them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was
unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers,
problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have
been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we
learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL.
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!

Another beautiful tale...
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Nebraska, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.
One nurse took her copy to Missouri. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.
And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.
Crabby Old Man
What do you see nurses? . . What do you see?
What are you thinking . . . . when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man, . . . . not very wise,
Uncertain of habit . . . ... with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food . . . . . . and makes no reply .
When you say in a loud voice . . . . "I do wish you'd try!"
Who seems not to notice . .. . the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . . a sock or a shoe?
Who, resisting or not . .. . . . lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding. . . . the long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? . . Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . you're not looking at me..
I'll tell you who I am. . . as I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of ten . .. with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . . . . who love one another.
A young boy of sixteen . . . . with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . . . . a lover he'll meet..
A groom soon at twenty .. . . .my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows . .. . that I promised to keep.
At twenty-five, now . . . . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . and a secure happy home.
A man of thirty . . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . With ties that should last.
At forty, my young sons . . . have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me . . .. to see I don't mourn.
At fifty, once more, . . babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . .. . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . .my wife is now dead.
I look at the future . . . . .. shudder with dread..
For my young are all rearing . . . young of their own.
And I think of the years,. and the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man . . . . . and nature is cruel.
Tis jest to make old age .. . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . .. . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . . . a young guy still dwells,
And now and again .. . . . my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys . . . . . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . .. . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . .. . open and see.
Not a crabby old man. Look closer .. . see ME!!
P.S.
I will be 85 soon. This Army cap I wear always brings me kindness from almost all walks of life when I leave home. It gives me a wonderful feeling... Baten.
