I kissed my mother goodbye <br />I told her that I will return <br />Even though, I am forced to fly <br />In my eyes, tears will burn <br /> <br />I packed my things <br />And I am ready to go <br />But deep inside of me <br />Fears I won’t show <br /> <br />To distant lands <br />Behind Mountains and sees <br />I wave my hand <br />Leaving everything behind me bleed <br /> <br />Inside the plane <br />I’m flying so high <br />It’s driving me insane <br />And pushes me to cry <br /> <br />Farewell, my beloved country <br />Don’t let the wolfs get you <br />This is where I cut my story <br />This is where I say… <br />I love you.<br /><br />Elie Abou Chaaya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-that-once-was-my-country/
