Ana Stjelja: To a Palestinian Child (poem)

Illustration: Digital Art by Omar Bdoor

I see tears in your eyes

The lost childhood

Scattered houses

Displaced

I feel the pride in your heart

For being who you are

On the land of endless wars

What is your fault?

Your sky is colored in blood

Your silence is broken

By the sound of missiles

Instead of fresh breeze

You smell dust

What is your fault?

I will pray for you

My dear Palestinian child

For your freedom

For your courage

For your mother and father

For your brothers and sisters

For your better future

I hope for a new day to come

To bring the smile back on your

Beautiful face

To hear your laughter

To be happy

To live peacefully in your home

On your land
