Nablus, Palestine Christmas December 25, 1930

That’s Why I Say
Though I’m bound to the cliff of the eighties soon
I never believed in my wrinkles to sorrow
Even now my season minus sun plus moon ;
I stand against the menace of tomorrow ;
And so I have no worries to bear in mind
As never had I a lock without a key
Having explored the code of wisdom ‘to find
The cryptic secret betwixt the world and me .
Yet through the gene shell of life I keep a drill
To procure sufficient knowledge and declare
A triumph over the years but alas! still
I might hold the line of hope without a snare
That’s why I say:
«There is nothing sure in a moving tide
Of a world changing faces day by day
For life and death are always side by side
And we come here but not for long to stay».
