Palestine in My Heart: Poetry and Sculpture - Paperback

by Pitika Ntuli (Author)

Dedicated to the children of Gaza

who clutched crayons not weapons,

and hugged dolls as the walls collapsed.

May your laughter, silenced too soon,

echo louder than bombs.

You are not collateral.

You are constellations

buried beneath rubble,

waiting to be renamed

by a sky that still remembers you.

Lalela, Gaza - we carry you in bone

and breath.
