Aisha cries seeing her mother motionless,
Not from war, Or disease, but from starvation,
She gave all she can to Aisha and neglected her own body,
The love of a mother for her child cannot be matched.
Not from war, Or disease, but from starvation,
She gave all she can to Aisha and neglected her own body,
The love of a mother for her child cannot be matched.
Years have passed since that day,
Aisha is a mother now and has a child of her own,
Her husband got taken by the army,
Her father got shot fighting,
Everyday aisha wakes up to her daughter's crying,
She replies 'smile baby, you have seen the dawn of today',
Reminding aisha of when her mother use to do the same.
Living in terrible conditions,
She still smiles through her pain,
The pain of not knowing where her husband is,
The pain of not knowing if she can feed her child,
Wanting to cry but she doesn't have the energy to.
