(This is for my friend in India who is very sad right now. For those who dont know what Mon Ami means, it means "My friend" in French)
Stay calm Mon Ami, for what is gone is now the past,
Stay calm Mon Ami, for what happened is now the past,
Stay calm Mon Ami, for the one who does not have you
Has lost a lot;
I remember our friendship days Mon Ami,
How you would cheer me up in the darkest of skies,
How you used to help the bird of hope fly in the
Strongest of winds,
How you helped me always see the silver lining amongst the dark clouds,
Now that you are sour, it is my turn, my duty
To see to it that no one pains you again,
Now that you are gloomy, it is my duty
To bring that beautifool smile back on that face
Shed no tears Mon Ami, for tears worth zillions
Shouldn’t be wasted on something as down as that,
Alas! But this is life,
A plate of pizza with some rather many rotten mushroom toppings,
But what lesson does it teach you?
Do not get the pizza from the same place, for you will be betrayed again.
See the hope, learn from what has happened
Alas! But this is life,
Look into the past just once and for all,
And see what not others but what you did wrong,
Learn from it; implement it in your life Mon Ami
And so one by one when you have removed all the rotten mushrooms,
You can enjoy the pizza of life,
See the sorrow not as a loss,
It is a gain since you have learnt not to trust that easily,
For you have learnt the right thing to do, at the right time
And I hope you are learning to choose friends who won’t abandon you in dismay
Oh Mon Ami, we all are with you,
We will help you remove all those rotten mushrooms,
But it is you not me who actually has to remove the mushrooms.
I know it is difficult, sometimes even rotten mushroom tastes good,
But as the word says it is indeed “rotten”, so remove it.
So, do not be sad,
For when you shed tears,
I can feel the flood here,
For when you are upset, I can feel the sadness around me.
So, at least not for your pizza but for my pizza
Keep smiling, Mon Ami
Keep smiling Mon Ami,
For you should have the faith that whenever again you find a rotten mushroom,
We, your old friends, shall always help you make your pizza, your life happier;
Take care, Mon Ami!
