Samy and Adrian

 

Samy and Adrian

In sunlit streets where laughter played,
A boy and dog in joy arrayed.
They chased the wind, they shared their bread,
No words were needed, love was said.



But shadows fell, the sky turned gray,
And cruel hands took home away.
His parents gone, the world grew cold,
A scarf, a tear, a grief untold.



Yet through the ash, a paw drew near,
Adrian came, his heart sincere.
No bark, no howl—just silent grace,
A friend who stayed, a warm embrace.



Together now, through loss they roam,
Two souls who made the ruins home.
Not bound by blood, but love instead—
A boy, a dog, and tears unsaid.

Adrian and Samy: A Story of Friendship and Courage

 

Adrian and Samy: A Story of Friendship and Courage



In a quiet neighborhood where laughter echoed between dusty walls, in Gaza, a boy named Samy found joy in the simplest of things—especially in the wagging tail of a stray dog named Adrian. Adrian wasn’t just any dog. He had golden fur that shimmered in the sun and eyes that seemed to understand everything Samy felt.

 

Every afternoon, Samy and Adrian played in the street. They chased shadows, shared crusts of bread, and invented games only they understood. Adrian would bark with delight, and Samy would laugh until his cheeks hurt. They were more than friends—they were family.



But one day, the sky turned dark with smoke. The ground trembled. Samy’s home was shattered by violence he couldn’t understand. His father and mother, who once tucked him in with bedtime stories, were gone by drones of enemies called “Isreal”

Samy wandered through the rubble, his heart heavy and his eyes full of tears. He sat alone on a broken step, clutching a piece of his mother’s scarf. That’s when Adrian appeared, tail low, eyes gentle. Samy didn’t speak. He just wrapped his arms around Adrian and cried.

Adrian didn’t move. He stayed beside Samy all night, warm and silent. In that moment, Samy knew he wasn’t truly alone. The world had taken much—but it hadn’t taken Adrian.

And so, the boy and the dog walked forward together. Through grief. Through silence. Through the ashes of yesterday, they built a new kind of home—one made of loyalty, love, and the kind of courage only true friendship can give.
