These are my reflections as I complete my TDY at the Damascus Embassy.
With your glowing nighttime fountains
And awesome towering mountains
With your tiled courtyards and ancient houses
City walls and winding alleys
These are the memories of the sojourner
Damascus
Mother of cities
Damascus
Whose people find providence in all things
Where gifts are given liberally
And glasses constantly refilled
You promote the life of the spirit
You are a great city
You are the product of love
Reflections of a Sojourner
With your glowing nighttime fountains
And awesome towering mountains
With your tiled courtyards and ancient houses
City walls and winding alleys
These are the memories of the sojourner
Damascus
Mother of cities
Damascus
Whose people find providence in all things
Where gifts are given liberally
And glasses constantly refilled
You promote the life of the spirit
You are a great city
You are the product of love
