This poem is very special, it was written by my beloved niece Jeanine, read by her two beautiful daughters Jude and Jena, and put together by my lovely niece Sabreen
Mama
Baba
Don’t worry about me
I’m in heaven with my neighbor
She’s three just like me
I was greeted by some babies
They hugged me, held my hand
Told me not to be afraid
said, “this is what was planned”
They gave me a cute teddy bear
we played and sang a song
Heaven’s really beautiful mama
This is where I belong
I begged the doctor, grabbed his shirt
Please don’t let me die
I have a daddy who adores me
and a mommy who will cry
I drew you a picture mama
Of us as a family
With a rainbow in the background
and our flag with an olive tree
Wipe your tears ya baba
I’m right there by your side,
My body’s in the rubble now
but my spirit never died
Stay strong ya mama
Your baby girl is here
One thing you used to tell me
is to never live in fear
To the strongest humans, my Palestinians
Allah is with you and Israel will get their turn
To Allah we belong
and to him is our return
