Olive Groves in the City

Land of doves and olive groves,

And budding almond trees,

The date palm’s honey sweet as joy,

A gentle loving breeze,

A pathway to a garden,

Lined with shrubs and needles pine,

The land of milk and honey,

Vineyards flow with sacred wine,

The flowers line the gardens,

Ancient stones on every side,

A biblical oasis,

Deeply rooted landscape wide,

With focus on this moment,

Walking trails and gardens old,

Historic transformation,

In the city now of gold.
