I love to
Sit on a Bench
To have a cup of coffee
With my Chumps
In the evening
While looking at
The sun setting down

I want to run
Along The Damascus
Alongside my Sweetheart
I love to Tie a ribbon at
The shrine Of John
The Baptist

I wanna be
At Azm, The palace
To see the beauty of the River,
Orontes I wanna take
A Selfie or two
I wanna swim to
Break the monotony

I love to
Get lost amongst
The ‘Pinus brutia’
I wanna play with them
I wanna hang around
Them both day & night

I wanna Serin, the Finch
to chirp Harmoniously
I wanna see him
Flying up in the sky

I love to fly a kite with
My friends next door
I wanna see it flying
Up in the sky
If the wind takes it away
We love to run behind
The kite

I love to ride my bicycle
Through the Streets of Aleppo
I wanna be there & meet
Up my mates for
A chat
