We Shall Never Give Up

We Shall Never Give Up

Samih Al- Qassem I have come back from the jaws of death, And shall resist till my last breath! I represent a wound that never bargains: Deep-rooted in fields, streets, dales and gardens, As patient, resilient and diligent as an ant, Plodding, resourceful and stubborn; I shan't  Surrender to despair. I weave my dreams Slowly but persistently, till hope gleams Through the tears and rays of my tired eyes, And light dawns on my land from the skies, When we meet our loved ones with great joy, Despite our enemies' attempts to destroy Happiness in our homes and in our life: To realize our aim we shall never give up the strife!
