I am a poet. And I appreciate the poetry of others. But one particular poem has touched me today, and I need to share it with you. It is the poem of a young woman from Iran, a poem of grief and fear for her country, a poem that touches me deeply, as it must surely touch the heart of any freedom-loving person.
That place is hell. I sometimes marvel at why I have been blessed to live here and not somewhere like that. Why? I suppose I'll know someday. But the thought of this girl and others suffering just because they are born, makes me incredibly sad.
ReplyDeleteHeart breaking. I definitely take my freedom and my peace for granted sometimes. Not today. Not after hearing that.
ReplyDeleteThat was so powerful. Listening to her, she sounds young, afraid, and saddest of all, hopeless.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was something we could do.
Thanks for sharing this today.
Really really sad. You could feel her heart breaking.
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful and sad at the same time. What a strong woman.
