Palestine: Flower of the Desert

FLOWER OF DESERT
Sandy winds and sun-baked earth, a land of ancient, sacred birth
Where zaytoon trees stand strong and tall, witnessing the rise and fall
But ‘neath the scorching, endless blue, a tender strength is shining through
A silent promise, softly told, a story brave, a heart of gold.
Oh, flower of the desert, blooming where the sands ignite
Your petals hold a gentle gleam, a beacon in the fading light
Though storms may rage and shadows creep, your beauty runs profoundly deep
A testament to life’s embrace, the steadfast soul of a suffering race.
Through rubble and through whispered fears, they wipe away the unshed tears
With weary hands and hopeful eyes, they watch the morning sun arise
Each laugh a triumph, soft and low, a resilient spirit starts to grow
In every child, a future bright, a glimmer in the darkest night.
Oh, flower of the desert, blooming where the sands ignite
Your petals hold a gentle gleam, a beacon in the fading light
Though storms may rage and shadows creep, your beauty runs profoundly deep
A testament to life’s embrace, the steadfast soul of a suffering race.
They bear the weight of history’s plea, for dignity and liberty
Yet kindness blossoms in their plight, a steadfast, burning inner light
No bullet’s fury, wall of stone, can crush the seeds that they have sown.
Oh, flower of the desert, blooming where the sands ignite
Your petals hold a gentle gleam, a beacon in the fading light
Though storms may rage and shadows creep, your beauty runs profoundly deep
A testament to life’s embrace, the steadfast soul of a suffering race.
So let the world now see and know, the beauty where the harsh winds blow
The flower of the desert, true, the strength of Palestine shines through.
