to Somalia.

I loved you through it all.
The wars, the strife, the hunger and the pain.
Your silent beauty spoke to the core of my soul;
as if to say you had seen worse.
I loved you through it all.
When people spoke ill of you, I conveyed your whispers of hope;
assuring them that this too will pass.
When people got tired of soothing your pain,
I stayed up and cried with you, letting time do the healing.
I loved you through it all.
You were my refuge, my source of strength. 
The star of my dreams, the author of my songs.
How this has changed.
I dont know how much longer only your words will do.
I need to see that you love you as much as I do.
