- Mother Palestine
- She held him close
- Draped her black shawl
- About his frail body
- A tent warm and safe
- So little so fierce
- In his love for her
- His father a martyr
- Shot at the wall
- A tent within a tent
- Near the remains
- Of their refugee home
- Of crushed memories
- Fighter jets streaked
- Drowning out a helicopter’s
- Whirl blades slashing the air
- Into warring currents
- Brave boy she thought
- His sad eyes warmed
- By her caress
- Beheld her radiant
- Snow melted in the flame
- A campfire ablaze
- Fed by the remains
- Of broken hearts
