Kristi and Pooky the Panda

Verse 1
As a little girl in my room at night
Soft toys tucked in, everything felt right
But six black-and-white hearts I held dear
My panda bears were always near.

They lined my bed, they shared my dreams.
Life was simple, or so it seemed.
Of all the friends I ever knew
Those panda bears felt warm and true

Verse 2
Years went by, but love stayed strong
That childhood dream kept rolling on
So I traveled far ‘cross land and sea
To a place that meant the world to me

In Chengdu where the pandas play
At the Chengdu Research Base
of Giant Panda Breeding one day
A dream came true, I could believe
A real live panda I could receive.

Chorus
Pandas make the greatest pets
Softest hearts you’ll ever get
Gentle, loving, full of cheer
A little messy, but so sincere

Pandas make the best pets
Every moment, no regrets
Through every laugh and every look
My life was changed by my sweet Pook

Verse 3
I named her Pooky, black and white
Big round eyes, pure delight
I studied hard, got things just right
Made my home her perfect site

She liked my house, she settled in
A brand new life was set to begin
She ate each day, she grew so strong
Right by my side where she belonged

Verse 4
We watched TV on cozy nights
Took forest hikes in golden light
Each week we’d ride my little boat
With wind and laughter all afloat

She loved it all, each simple thing
The joy that only love can bring
And I found peace I never knew
Just sharing life with Pooky too

Chorus
Pandas make the greatest pets
Softest hearts you’ll ever get
Gentle, loving, full of cheer
A little messy, but so sincere

Pandas make the best pets
Every moment, no regrets
Through every laugh and every look
My life was changed by my sweet Pook

Outro
From stuffed dreams to real-life days
Love can grow in quiet ways
Six small bears to one so true
The world got brighter… thanks to you
