My fifteenth birthday
Was just a couple of weeks ago.
Angelina who adopted me
Akasnahabaskha my almost sister
And Sapir my best friend
Were all there!
It was the best night of my life!
But my last too

I was shot in the back of my head
I had a wonderful, but also hard life.
Coming from my old Israel
To this new world,
Loosing both of my parents
On the way,
And being adopted
By people I didn't know at all.
At least now I can think...
...of my memories of the past...
And know I am here next
To my beloved parents.
and my beloved family.
