Mahmoud Darwish Poem- What makes life worth living!

Mahmoud Darwish

and here one of his famouse poem "We have on this earth what makes life worth living"

We have on this earth what makes life worth living:
April's hesitation,
the aroma of bread at dawn,
a woman's point of view about men,
the works of Aeschylus,
the beginning of love,
grass on a stone,
mothers living on a flute's sigh
and
the invaders' fears of memories.

We have on this earth what makes life worth living:
the final days of September,
a woman
keeping her apricots ripe after forty,
the hour of sunlight in prison,
a cloud reflecting a swarm of creatures,
the peoples' applause for those who face death with a smile,
a tyrant's fear of songs.

We have on this earth what makes life worth living:
on this earth,
the Lady of Earth,
mother of all beginnings and ends.
She was called Palestine.
Her name later became
Palestine.
My Lady,
because you are my Lady,
I deserve life.
