يسالني ونحن في غربتنا
من اي ارض انت...؟
قلت :انني من بلد الطيبين
تبصر في عيونهم
... جذور زيتون
... وليمون
... ونخل
وتين
... وفوق ذرات ترابهم
تشم طيب من مر من المرسلين
... وعندما تاتي اليهم
... يفرشون بالشذا دربك
والياسمين
ويضحكون ...والاسى
بين الحنايا دفين
ويذرفون دمعهم
... من شدة الحب
وفرط الحنين
...ويقهرون القهر
يرفضون ظلم السنين
...ويحفظون ارضهم
وعرضهم
ويبذلون كل غال...ثمين
: قاطعني وقال لي عن يقين
انك من فلسطين

YOU AND I

salwa1966 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:10:26 UT

My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear;
My ear is tired waiting for your call.
I want your strength to help, your laugh to cheer;
Heart, soul and senses need you, one and all.
I droop without your full, frank sympathy;
We ought to be together - you and I;
We want each other so, to comprend
The dream, the hope, things planned, or seen,
Or wrought.
Companion, comforter and guide and friend,
As much as love asks love, does thought ask thought.
Life is short, so fast the lone hours fly,
We ought to be together, you and I.
HENRY ALFORD

I LOVE YOU

I love you,
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you
Not only for what
You have made of yourself
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you
for the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For puttin your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good,
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.

You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.
