"Adopt a Child" Program Yara's Poem
 

I am a little girl having dreams
I live in the Holy Land
and have a mother, father & brothers.

Trying to learn from life
wondering is there any place of love?
is there only hatred and killing?
I need to have freedom and hope.

I love people and they love me.
I care for others as they care for me.

I want to enjoy playing with my little toys
to go walking without fear and pray.

With a smile I care for my brothers
I like to dream of a better future
and I don't like killing or torture.

I love people everywhere
I dislike those who make war and fear
We can live in peace if we have wisdom and real love.

This poem was written by Yara, a female member of St. George Church. This poem was written in 2007 when Yara was 14 year-old.
