Strawberry Plane Poem by Eman Awad

You're leaving on a jet plane,
you don't know when you'll be back again.
Like you flew away on the wings of a fairy,
racing through clouds, coloured like strawberry.
I couldn't tell that day if i can,
be sad or scared, i just didn't know.
But like i was promised to understand,
as each day goes by, things start to show.
You're baby grew and started to clap her hands,
and her sister complains from some cavity in her teeth.
Neither me or any one understands,
how when you're away, even the happy times don't please.
I've been given a brother and that's a great gift,
i wasn't really thrilled when you're gone that day.
It's that i haven't felt that sad since my father left,
and since i got to be still in time while it's going away.
I just want to tell you, we miss you so,
and we all hope that you come back soon.
It's just that image that won't let go,
where you used to play, we've changed rooms.
Once, Egypt got to the finals in the world's cup,
you gave me a laugh of a dream that won't come true.
Still the baby cries her lungs out at night, non stop,
and my mom never stops to mention how she misses you.
We think that the baby may be having a tooth,
while her sister is growing beautifuly with a long hair .
Other than all of this, it's all going so smooth,
my sister misses you and she wishes to be else where.
But still the days are to come, to know,
when will things go back to how it's been?
Eventually, i hope you're happy wherever you go,
like it's been years for us in here,
when did you go? can you tell when? ?
