I have added a YouTube video of Darwish reciting the poem with beautiful Arabic music in the background.

It\u2019s a poem that powerfully and adequately describes how many individuals, including myself, feel at various points of our lives. We might feel overwhelmed, sad, happy, angry, betrayed, hatting our job, or simply just tired of everything, and feel that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. But then the people we are with and the small little joys make us enjoy life more and make us feel like exactly how Darwish concludes the poem. This feeling that many of us encounter that: today, we are fine, better than yesterday and maybe tomorrow, so we need to pause and enjoy every moment of life and feel satisfied with what we have and achieved. At least that is how I tend to see things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><b>Stay tuned for upcoming posts.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><b>Have a nice day!<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center;direction: rtl\" align=\"center\"><strong><span lang=\"AR-SA\">\u0646\u0647\u0627\u0631\u0643\u0645 \u0633\u0639\u064a\u062f<\/span><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marhaba!
