We've never met
And yet, I can see the sun in your hair
It reminds me of my mother.
We've never met
And yet, when we take a breath of air
It is in sync with one another.
We've never met
And yet, I can hear your laugh like a sweet pear
It is just like my big brother.
We've never met
And yet, I know you because you know me
Human and raw and alive.
We've never met
And yet, I fear for your life
It is nothing like mine.
We've never met
And I'm hoping your still alive;
It is war-ravanged, your home, in Gaza.
