The hope in the Children of Palestine is strong in the following poem written
by ?Abdur-Rahman ?Awawdah,
?DETERMINATION in Our YOUNG CHILDREN?
Determination in our young children
Love, in our hearts, is commitment
The bird above our heads is singing
The people lay open their committed chests
The land opens its arms and paths
In the sun?s glance there is integrity
Embrace your little ones for they are the Symbol of Immortality and
They Are the Lions.
****The selection of vocabulary highly suggestive adds to the image of a hopeful future despite the Repressive Present of the Palestinian Children. The singing of the birds, the new avenues, the sun and love all suggest Optimism****.
