Song of the Princess

Do not forget the song of the Yemeni Princess.

Cry of a child taken from golden lands

Far from these palaces of a distant childhood.

Lost to the wilderness and land of eternal winds

Parted from pomegranate trees and the love of a father.

To be an exile in a hostile world,

Stolen from friendship and a brother’s games.

Torn from these childhood stories of joy

And found only with a heart broken

Yet clasping still these shards of hope and broken dreams.

And remembering still the love of a distant man
