"A lot like whom we used to be"
by Heba Raed Abu Nimer
Comprehensive School"A", Village of Maghar
When time is on
We play for fun
On the beach, and under the sun
There is no limited time
If we are late, it's not a crime
If we're bored…we buy ice-cream
Enjoy it…sing and scream
Without feeling lazy...just getting crazy
Run as fast as we can
Not as a woman and not as a man
But like a children who run fast and free
'till we get to the blue sea
Play in salty water...if we get wet, it doesn't matter
We play hide and seek
Our happiness is like a fling streak
At the end of the day
Near the beach we lay
Watching the sunset
The sky is burning ... but no fire yet
It's time to say goodbye
To the sand and the blazing sky
We are home now… tired, and start to yawn
Lights are shut… sun goes down
Now...we might be in our beds
but the lovely memories... still in our heads
Heba,
