Elastic Band

Hello, my dear baklava

You were my first thought today

I stretch when I awaken

I stretched my mind the same way.



It is early afternoon

For you, over in your land.

Here I am starting the day.

Time is an elastic band.



I wonder what you're doing,

If you're having a good day,

If your thougts fly here to me,

When next you'll write me to say



Those endearments, like 'darling'

That I never thought I'd hear,

Tender words like 'I love you'

That bring your presence so near.



I wish for you habiibi

A golden slice of life -now.

May your world be coloured by

All the love God can endow.
