A Prayerful of Good Thinking

A picture like this reminds me of how the monarchy as well as the Palestinian populace for centuries felt about each other.

Even now the Queen of Palestine is called 'Mother' and that is how one feels many times when you see someone either living in your country or from your country; which is like a mother putting her arms around her children and wishes always the best for them.

To always wish the happiness and good things for everyone from Palestine, that should be showered upon them as the freshness of rain does.

Furthermore, if there should be tears, to always have the means to wipe even the smallest tear from the eyes or cheek; or that outstretched arm to give comfort.

Nevertheless, from experience that in a time of need, everyone knows that the Queen always tries her best to always be there, no matter what the issue may be.

I have often wondered, if people think that a Queen lives somewhere in the clouds and is too far to reach, but most assuredly, she is always there with love and compassion for everyone.

Finally, I also have wondered if people in the last 108 years have misunderstood the monarchy, because of our political hostage situation, because at times, even I have wondered if our imprisonment is not just because we are the leaders of Palestine, but the fact we have always loved not just our country, but everyone that is apart of our country.
