When you come to me
Bring a pair of eyes
So that I can see the world differently
When you come to me
Bring a bundle of smiles
So that I can feel happiness one more time
When you come to me
Bring a piece of hope
So that I can hold onto life
And a piece of the sun
To light my inside

Absolutely beautiful writing dear Farida. .I am deeply touched. .be brave sweetheart and endure. .with much much love from the other side of the world. .in Ireland. ..I worked in Afghanistan and I miss you beautiful good people
I can feel sadness and longing in your words – and also hope. A short poem but amazingly powerful.
Dear Farida, may all of the gifts you name in your poem come to you, one by one, and bring a healing grace to you wherever you are. Your writing is so fine and poignant – it brings a tear and a smile, both at once, to my heart. Thankyou.
