Farheen's Corner

Oh caffeine
You are there when I need you.
Early mornings, sleepy afternoons, long road trips
You never disappoint.

Dark and rich, just your presence eases my stress
You make a cold day feel warmer
And a long day seem bearable.
You wake me up when I am sleepy
And bring comfort me when I am down.

You bring good friends together,
You make chocolate cake even better.

But now as we enter Ramadan, we must depart
For seeing you too late leaves me restless through the night.
I will not forget you oh caffeine
For in 30 days, we shall reunite again.

– Farheen’s Note: For those who know me, you know how much I love my caffeine and need it to function everyday. But somehow during the 30 days of Ramadan when I’m fasting from dawn to sunset, I manage to survive without…must be the power of this special month because the day after Ramadan ends, I crave it again – in fact a coffee pitstop is a must stop right after Eid prayers.
