Originally from the village of Houewaja in the city of Hama, Syria, Ali Mohamed Saeed sought refugee in Lebanon 7 years ago. Ali now works in construction to support his family of 6. He hopes for a better future for his children.
I miss my homeland, my country, and my days that I lived in my country.
Like a nostalgic mother to her baby as the thirsty land longs for water.
If I heard the name of my country overflowing with my heart, I could remember how I lived with my family and friends, I remember when I meet with my friends in one house and enjoy each other. Every night we meet in a friend’s house, rejoice together, grieve together, take care of each other’s feelings, and be all together. In our humble beautiful house.
Oh…Who is filled with love and tolerance and is filled with house in delight and pleasure thousand days ago will not return.
I hope that what is happening is a dream I wake up from that dream and see nothing only a mirage.
