Pappou Elias' Poem Poem by Elia Michael

Had I wings on my back to fly, I would come,
(Even knowing that I would get lost) ,
To you and carry you back home,
Because your separation has cost
Me my happiness, it has cost me dear,
Since I no longer see you with us here
In this your own home.

Come back soon to Cyprus,
Come back and comfort us,
And rather than see you go hungry,
So you can eat, I'd even cut off a part of me

A couple of nights ago at the engagement,
All were singing happily
But ask about your mother and me,
And of your Anna too, about the life we underwent.
