THANK YOU!!!
That?s so kind of you
I wish I could write in Arabic, Arabic is such a complex language that even for me its hard and its my mother-tongue
To tell you the truth, my Arabic sucks! I barely passed it college with a D- :?>
Good luck with your studies, its cool to learn languages

Dear Arwa, this is an incredibly good and touching poem..IMHO in poetry the main idea should be passing the feelings to others who are reading.And you did it really well..so don't put yourself in strict patterns..
Do you have any other poems rather than English for instance arabic poems? I m into arabic language for couple of months.Your poems may be helpful for me.. erkocd@gmail.com

Dear Arwa, Very sweet, touching poem and a great photo to go with it (or the other way around - great photo and a beautiful poem to go with it) Life is so difficult sometimes that it can almost be too much. Take care, Mark

Very touching photo and dedication Arwa, nice of you...
The b/w tones and the shallow DOF added to the sad mood of the photo.
Keep up the good work my friend,
Khaled.

Of course I didn't mean that:) I m not an poem type guy but this poem really hit me so I 'm confused which to compliment first:)..then I mistakenly complimented on your poem before your shot..btw in my opinion the unblossomed rose really symbolises the loss of your friends beloved brother very well..
I will be waiting for the answer:)

Once I had a brother
I knew he was coming soon
Waiting ?waiting and anticipating
Mother?s tummy is getting larger
That?s good? my brother would be bigger
The moon is round
Full with its shine
And it?s after mid night
To early to get on the bus
Yet I hear the fuss
Father starts rushing down the stairs
Mother is screaming in my ears
My brother would be here
Some how the screams turned to a melody
I knew I was ready
To have a baby brother at last
The first months were a blast
Even though he slept most of day like a sack
Beside him I sat
All day... through the morning? in the evening? even when I had my snacks
Mommy ...mommy look ?he?s smiling at me
Mommy ? when would he play barby
Mommy can I take him to school
Ooh mommy that would be so cool
When he took his first step
I got so excited I sang ?played tell I slept
Tomorrow I would take him to school?I thought
He would be my best friend forever
And ever
Why isn?t tomorrow coming
I asked my mommy
How come he?s always tired and you?re always worried
Daddy what?s wrong with mommy
Can?t she hear the melody?
Why is he crying so loud?
Can?t you help him somehow?
Mommy all it takes is a hug
Hug him for a while?he would be all right
Looking back now I realize
My daddy knew
What my mommy thought was so cruel
He won?t see my school
Ooh little brother
We wont go on the bus together
I watched him as he suffer
I prayed to God?called out his name in the cold rain
Dear Lord keep him with us
Don?t take him?I love him so much
I sat down on my knees and begged
Lord?he didn?t mean to spoil mommy?s carpet with blood
He can help it
Can?t stop the flood
Counting the odds ? I kept on praying
Kept my tears from falling
Mommy this room is cold
It hurts my tummy
I don?t like white anymore mommy
Everything here is white
Why isn?t the doctor coming back?
He?s not coming out this time
Hay mommy?stop crying
Young brother is coming
Soon
We went back alone that night
My mother my father ?and I
I lost him forever
I can?t play with my brother
Can?t make him laugh or giggle
Wish I could be the one who struggled
I?m older?I thought? I m stronger
He?s the angel ?I?m the devil
Ooh mother
You cried when you gave him to the world
You ached with pain when you gave him to the lord
Dearest mother
Your angel is with all the others
In heaven?where he would no longer suffer
Mother
We have him waiting for us
Watching over us
Prying to the mighty lord for us
Let us be worth of his prayers
And be there for him in heaven
For ever
I once had a brother
Now I have six sisters and brothers
And an angel who would be my friend forever
And ever
