A Dream!!!


With a screm he woke up crying ! he woke up without even realizing that he was having a nightmare , even better a dream
His mom came and said what's wrong with u honey !
and still the boy didn't stop cryinhg
She got up and brought him a glass of water
Still was he in shock
His mom tired to wake him up , so that he can tell her what he was dreaming of
But all her attempts went in vain! Her son is not getting back to the way used to be
Her son is now different , he's not hers ; not any more

She stayed by his side all  night long , and at 6 am she stood up and opened the curtains
And when he saw the sun's light , he went near the window and put his hand around his mom's waste
And he said " Mom , I thought that the sun would never rise again , and I would never see it's light "
his mom said " you made me worried , you stayed all the night awake without muttering a word, son if you are having a problem at school or with any of your friends you can tell me , we will try to work it out together "

He answered with " Mom ,I've never wished to dream about something good as that.
I didn't dream of my Cinderella , nor did I dream of winning a million dollar lottery  but mom guess what !
I dreamt that We , Palestinians, are back together!
Mom I dreamt that we are actually living in peace , my two big bothers are not fighting over who's better or who's doing a better job !
 Mom Do you believe that I saw a TV commercial that includes Palestinians holding the Palestinian flag ,and singing together our anthem ; mom the joy I felt was something  that I've never felt before even when you brought me that big giant red car that I saw at the toy's shop
And What made me happier is that I saw Alaqsa Mosque surrounded by prayers and prayers only , I didn't see a single outsider Mom
My dad , my brothers , You and I were there  thanking God for the blessings we have without mentioning the things we lack , we were satisfied mom
But Still among all of this joy , I felt something wrong
Mom , I knew that such things would never happen , that's why when I woke up I was in shock
I could never believe that what we are dreaming of is finally happening Mom "

His Mom cried and her only response was " Son , Go back to sleep "
