FEATURE of SHAHID ABBAS "Nature's Gift"

Do not waste a valued drop
We owe existence to fertile ground
We soon depart this royal realm
Save some soil for their future

If we waste it
If we destroy it
If we disrespect it
Nature's gift will produce warfare

I implore you
Heed the alarm
Join hands in brotherhood
Save our home
From inexorable destruction and irrevocable degradation

Human!
Show wisdom
Human!
Show compassion
Make every effort
To save earth's beauty
She gives of her bounty
To feed the hungry
To feed their crying souls

This precious gift from above
Whose river's flowing slakes the thirsty
Whose cool water soothes the aching body
So tired from toil at the end of the day

We are Mother Nature's protector
Let us not neglect one drop
Nor one acre
Water and land provides sustenance for all
Not just a chosen few... © Shahid Abbas 2022 "For You"

You adore me, I adore you
Your aspiration has been fulfilled,
Come and be part of me
Your tears and your pain
I would not let them blemish your face.
One day you will blush and bow your head,
Let me come to see your face...
Let me inhale your gifts, So that I can breathe.
You will have to look,
You are loved, O! my beloved
Do not cry for I will take care of you,
Clasp my hand, look into my longing eyes, Do not fear, and allow me to cherish,
The depth of your innocence
to make us a duo...
A magical duet, in tune with life,
One solemn vow, to make you mine, and me yours,
Dear darling lay your head in the comfort of my arms,
Where I'll show you peace and shower you with love.
