Palestine in My Heart

<p>Dedicated to the children of Gaza</p><p>who clutched crayons not weapons</p><p>and hugged dolls as the walls collapsed.</p><p>May your laughter silenced too soon</p><p>echo louder than bombs.</p><p>You are not collateral.</p><p>You are constellations</p><p>buried beneath rubble</p><p>waiting to be renamed</p><p>by a sky that still remembers you.</p><p>Lalela Gaza - we carry you in bone</p><p>and breath.</p><p></p>
