United hands
with your deep sighs
succeeding from each line
dissolved your fear
into the smile
drawn
in your eyes as the light
that connected us with the soul of life
forever present in the country
that gave rise to your name.
Salimah, peace, security
where you stand for,
let you be, immensely,
like the mother of her children
who lifted her spirit,
bowed gratefully
for each learned written letter.
Salimah, woman of peace
immortalized in the hands
united
as the heart that connected us
while the song sung your name
luminous
in your joyful eyes.
SALIMAH
