Have You Seen Amina?

Have you seen Amina,
the little girl of three,
whose name whispers safe,
though the world around her trembles?

Amina, my dear—
did you have a meal today?
Did a warm hand hold yours,
did your mother’s voice
soften the echo of falling bombs?

Do you still dream, Amina,
under the broken roof of a shelter,
while the rogue sky above
spits fire and fear?
How can such tiny ears
be forced to carry
such heavy thunder?

My heart crosses the seas to you,
to you and your mother,
in Khan Younis,
where courage is drawn
from hunger,
where survival itself
becomes an act of resistance.

Have you seen Amina?
Do you know if she is safe?
For every beat of my heart
asks only this—
that she be cradled,
that she be spared,
that she one day knows
the world can still be gentle.

Amina, you are not forgotten.
Your name is my prayer,
your laughter my hope.
Even when shadows fall,
you are the light I follow.
