Palestine Mother

My child and her first smile 
My child held gently in my arms
My child my love my life 
My starlight in my palms 

A monster comes along 
There is no name to his face
He cares nothing for us my child
There is no name to his face 
He holds our hands and smiles

It is okay my child 
I say 
Nothing to fear 
We are no longer living 
No longer living here

My child and her first smile 
My child held gently in my arms 
My child my love my life 
My starlight in my palms 

Heaven on Earth 
You will be reborn  
In the Sunlight of hope 
We walk the rainbow bridge 
No longer do we mourn 

My child and her first smile 
My child held gently in my arms 
My child my love my life 
My starlight in my palms
