Plant me a young tree in your old Olive grove, tend it and watch as it grows and bares fruit, Plant me a young tree in my garden, one that will bare lemons for the aroma is reminiscent of my homeland, Plant me a child in my virgin womb this night on our marriage bed and watch as our marriage blooms and like the trees I will bear fruit. Build me a house- one that is strong and lasting where we will be protected against an army, Paint it white and together we will watch our children play in its safety.
