Beirut

“Oh Beirut,

why all this rain?”

They are tears from heaven,

sharing your pain.

I’m sorry for

your grief, Dear,

your loss of a lovely daughter

whose life was so brief.

There is nothing I can do

except cry,

shed my tears for her

from the sky.

For she loved me

and I loved her too.

People are attached to me,

 I only to few.

She enjoyed my streets

as well as my sea,

I’m the place she loved,

and wanted to see.

                                                                                                          

Accept my condolences

sent from above,

Your daughter, I’ll always

remember and dearly love.
