Thank you Ireland 🇮🇪 

Thank you to Ireland, the land of generosity  

You who stood with us in the hardest of days  

Since the 7th of October, the ongoing genocide   

You have been the voice of truth for us at all times  

 

You spread the news of wounded Gaza  

You did not remain silent about the crimes that shattered our hearts  

The cries of our children, the groans of grieving mothers  

Reached you, and you became our voice in the crises  

 

I am Samia, heavy sorrow has consumed my heart  

When Samar was martyred, I searched in those dark nights for safety  

My sister, her daughters, and her husband were killed in cold blood  

My heart writhes in pain  

 

But you were here, beside this heart at all times  

You surrounded me with warmth despite all the hardships  

I don't know you, and you don't know me  

But your love felt like family in a time of nothingness  

 

You were the support  

You became a family to me  

Despite the distance, you were close  

You made me feel like I was your daughter, in a time full of sorrow  

 

Thank you, Ireland, symbol of giving  

You who supported us in the peak of affliction  

Your love healed our wounds, and it was the light for me and many Palestinians  

In a long night, devoid of safety.
