This land is Ours 🎼

By: Dr. Eiman Abbas El-Nour

I watch your face
I know that you can see
Even with closed eyes
I feel your thoughts
In your rhythmic breathing
I pray for a miracle

Are you faking this tragic state?
To punish your prodigal sons?
To shake up your sleeping daughters?
Have we failed you this much!

What good can sorrow bring?
The promise of water
Will not quench your thirst
Our trickling tears
Will not moisten your drying veins

I am the bearer of good tidings
My precious queen
We have prayed for rain
We held hands
And hearts
And whispered and cried
Then it came..

The sweet taste of heavenly nectar
We were drenched
Soaked and blessed
God is Great..

And this is only the beginning!
