    “...I have so many dreams of my own, and I remember things from my childhood, from when I was a girl and a young woman, and I haven't forgotten a thing.

She didn't have the opportunity to pursue her dreams, and all by herself, faced everything the era dealt her, poverty and sadness, and she couldn't do anything about her very bad lot in life other than suffer through it and get beyond it and live her life to the very best of her ability, giving her body and her heart to it completely. Why did I never give a thought to Mom's dreams?”

    تميم البرغوثي
    “ويكثر قول الشعر في الحرب لا الهوى..
    لأن الهوى لو قيس بالحرب جارح
    /
    وفي كل حرب ثم حق وباطل..
    وفي الحب لا هذا ولا ذاك واضح
    /
    فإن قال لا أهوى فليس بصادق..
    وإن قال أهوى أخجلته المذابح
    /
    وفي شعره معنى فصيح وغامض..
    وفي صدره قلب مقيم ونازح
    /
    وشعب مقيم في خيام كأنها..
    خيال من الشعر القديم يراوح
    /
    فقف عند رسم ما ترحل أهله..
    ولكنه رسم لحزنك صالح
    /
    وما ضره هجر العشيرة إنما..
    تقاعسها والموت غاد ورائح
    /
    إذا صار خذلان الأحبة دأبنا..
    فمن عاش خسران ومن مات رابح
    /
    وإن كان هذا صلحنا وسلامنا..
    فأخزى إلهي بعدها من يصالح”
    تميم البرغوثي
