I Remember

I have forgotten the sound of babies laughter

I have forgotten the taste of babies tears

I have forgotten the sight of them crawling

I have forgotten the feel of their touch

I have forgotten the small of babies after a shower

But I remember when they played

I am Palestinian

I am happy and funny

I wonder if Palestine will be free

I hear bombs and guns

I see tanks and soldiers

I want to be a doctor to help the people

I am a girl in Palestine.

I pretend to live a nice life

I feel sad and hungry

I touch the impossible dream

I worry about poor people and refugees

I cry when I think about Palestine.

I am a girl in Palestine

I understand why this is happening

I say Palestine will be free forever

I try to help but I can’t

I hope the Occupation will not remain

I believe Palestinians are good

I am a girl in Palestine

                                                                            

I Remember

I have forgotten the sound of the rain

I have forgotten its natural taste

I have forgotten the sight of the beautiful storm

I have forgotten the touch of rain on my skin

I have forgotten the smell of nature after rain

But I remember when I went outside its true, the street became dangerous, not a lot of people go outside because of the storm.

 

                                                              I Remember

I have forgotten the sound of her voice

I have forgotten the taste of my mum’s food

I have forgotten the sight of my beautiful mother

I have forgotten the feeling of her hug

I have forgotten the small of my mother

But I remember when my mother played with me.

I Remember

I have forgotten the sound of the waves

I have forgotten the taste of fresh fish by the sea

I have forgotten the sight of the sea

I have forgotten the feeling of relaxation

I have forgotten the smell of salt water

But I remember playing in the sea at Jaffa, I remember fishing with my family

I am Palestinian

I am happy and funny but I don’t have money

I wonder if I will get money?

I hear you talk

I will see you soon

I want to die I hate this life

I am happy and funny

I pretend I am a strong man

I feel angry because I want to

Touch the sky

I worry about failure

I cry. I want to die

I am happy and funny.

I understand I can fly

I try to fly

I hope to fly

I believe I can fly

I am like superman.

I am happy and funny

I am Palestinian

I am happy and funny

I pretend I am free

I feel angry

To touch the sky is forbidden

I worry about the soldiers

I am happy and funny

I cry in the night

I understand this life

I feel angry

I believe I can make Palestine free

I touch the ground

I am happy and funny

I am Palestinian

I am happy and funny, I jump like a bunny

I wonder if I can touch the sky

I wonder if I can fly

I see love going away

I pretend I am Russian mafia

I am happy and funny

I feel angry because I am hungry

I touch the ground then I turn around

I worry about school, I don’t want to be cool

I want good marks and swim in the pool

I cry a lot, I feel so hot

I am happy and funny

  

I Am Palestinian

I wonder if I’ll see you mum?

I hear you screaming

I see you in my dreams

I see our hands holding tight

I want everything to be allright

I am Palestinian

I pretend I am strong

I feel very wrong

I touch your beautiful hands

I worry because we never let go, our fingers entwined,

And a greater love you’ll never find.

I cry not to see you mum.

I am Palestinian

I understand your problems

I say I need her now

I hope to pull her hand from the ground

I believe I have her hand, nothing more

I am Palestinian

The younger students drew maps of Palestine and wrote their thoughts and feelings about their country within its borders.
