For a Friend – New Born – 16-07-2019

Heard you got a little muffin,
Time to start the lovin.
Congratulations on the new life,
You’ve upgraded from being a wife.
Now that you’re a mother,
There’s a lot that will become a bother.
From the late late nights,
To constant crying and potty cleaning sights.
I don’t have any experience in this field,
So I can’t give any tips or ideas for you to wield.
But you’ll figure it all out, you’re a karate expert and an ex-Emirati,
And if that doesn’t suffice, just remember, you are a Chouefati.

Much Love,

Panda – July 16th, 2019

Thank You – 6

That’s a beautiful piece,

You seem to have written it with such ease.

I was left speechless,

With such finesse.

You touched my heart,

To thank you, I don’t know where to start.

You are my confidant,

I’ve trusted you with all that’s important.

You don’t always need a reason to do something,

Sometimes you do more by thinking less, it’s interesting.

You’re not always perfect,

That’s great, this way I’ll have flaws to dissect.

I love you exactly the way you are,

I think this relationship is going to go very far.

Thank You – 5

You absolutely rock,

With all your fancy talk.

You always know what and when to say,

To make all the shitty things go away.

You never fail to surprise me,

Even with what you think is silly.

You made this day that was shitty,

Into one so pretty.

I loved it, I loved every bit of the message,

Here’s my return gift, a short and sweet passage.

You bring me joy,
Like a child’s favourite toy.
I get a thrill talking to you,
I may not show it but know it’s true.
You’re  light-hearted, caring, and a bundle of fun,
Speaking with you is like a rising sun.
It’s soothing, it’s refreshing,
I can’t think of more words because now I’m blushing.

We’ve known each other at least 1460 days, that’s a minimum 4 years,
And each day I’ve known you, you made me smile till I cried tears.
I thought I’d involve a little math,
After all you’re an engineer, this was simple, I’m sure the level you did made you a psychopath.
To see you begin this new adventure,
I don’t know if I can describe my happiness in this literature.
I promise I’ll make a sincere effort and speak from the bottom of my heart,
Just like a good breakfast is supposed to, hopefully it’ll do its part.
Congratulations my dear friend, I wish you the best for the years to come,
Knowing you, you’ll make sure they’re awesome.
I sincerely apologise I won’t be there to celebrate the festivities,
If only immigration would be so kind, I’d be able to enjoy your crazy activities.
And while I wait for us to catch up on another day,
The main point of this piece is to wish you congratulations and that’s all I wanted to say.

Wedding wishes

I am honoured to have been invited to your wedding, I feel quite blessed,
And to receive an invite with such grandeur, I would’ve never guessed.
I sincerely apologise I will not be there on your special day to watch this great change in your life,
But I wish you both from the bottom of my heart a happy and hearty time as husband and wife.
I’ll keep it short and sweet and wish you congratulations in advance,
And since I won’t be there, at the very least I’ll pay tribute by doing a little dance.

Happy Birthday – 3

Today is your birthday,
You must celebrate in a special way.

It can be grand,

Possibly call in your favourite band.

It can be low key,

Maybe go to the beach or take a walk close to the sea.

Special is a matter of perspective,

Either way you celebrate is irrespective.

Happy birthday my dear,

Enjoy today without any fear.

Though you are only a foot see,
I still care for you like a tootsie.
You’re the first Phd student I know,
And you have to admit, it probably feels like death row.
A person like you I am proud to know,
To lie that there is anyone better would be a blow down below.
As one of the smartest girls in the galaxy,
At Madame Tussaud’s, you might get yourself a little waxy.
I hope the sun never sets in your life,
Because even at two feet in height, your presence is as sharp as a butcher’s knife.

Panda – 2012

Be Strong

When the times come to haunt ya,
Know that nothing can hurt ya,
Because in some way or the other I’m always there to support ya.
You are a little crazy,
But for some reason you always come across as a daisy,
And when people get to know you things become less hazy.
Right now I can’t imagine what you are going through,
But relax and look inside you,
Because soon you’ll be sipping on some hot fresh brew.

Thank You – 2

A millions times over I will say thanks,
Because without your friendship life would be like those skanks.
As far as we may be,
There has never been a day where I don’t thank God that I am friends with thee.
Reminiscing all the times we share,
I know together any burden we will be able to bear.
Thank you my friend for being there,
Because the thought of life without you is a bloody scare.
