Jerusalem / Land Of God Poem by Eman Elbadawi

Jerusalem
Home of Saints and Prophets
All of them prayed there

with tears
I Pray

Yester
was last day
in the last year
All people
thinking
about themselves
and their families

myself
thinking of you

Because I love you
I love Jesus
the merciful
and i love you

I prayed
that you be
land of God
Land of Peace
Town of Love
Land of Jesus
Town of Jesus
The merciful
Land of Mary
The Innocent

Land of Moses
The well bred
The highly mannered


I want to pray
in your Mosque and Temple
Prayers of Love and Peace
Prayers of Forgiveness
for all the blood shed
here and there

Please give Peace
to my world
the small one
then the big one

Because you are the Most Generous

Then Suddenly
Hope came
and it comes suddenly
Like Life

Jerusalem Again
I love you
I love You So
Your air and Beauty
Your Past and Future

Please be Land of God
Land for God
Land of innocence
Land for Innocence
Land of us
Land for us
of you
for you
of me
for me
of us
for us
of Peace
for Peace
