كلما كبرت, تكبرين اضعاف و اضعاف. كلما نظرت الى عينيك وجدتك ابهى و اجمل. لبست ثوب الحداثة و بدتي تتكللمين اللغات. لم تعودي طفلة, انوثتك اكتملت. تعلمتي ارتداء اجمل الفساتين, تعلمتي ارتداء الماكياج والروائح. تتورد خدودك في نضارة و يعبق هواؤك بأريج الورد و الياسمين
أخذتي مكانك بين مدن العالم عن جدارة. بيروت, القدس و بغداد اصبحن يغرن منك. فتحت ذراعيك و استقبلت ابناءهم, ضممتهم الى صدرك و احتضنتهم كما تحتضنينا نحن. اقتسمنا حليبك و عطفك و حنانك. علمتنا المشاركة و التعاطف و المحبة
عمان, يقفز قلبي بفرح لسماع اسمك, يتهلل بسرور عند سماع ابناؤك يمجدونك باجمل الاهازيج. نتغني بتاريخك و تراثك. نتذكر عندما كنت عمون و عندما كنت فيلادلفيا. احبك العالم منذ القدم, و مجدوك على مر العصور
احب حاضرك وماضيك, اتعجب بمقدرتك العجيبة على مجاراة اخر ابداعات الموضة و الحداثة بينما تحافظين على تراثك و ماضيك. تتفاخرين بعبدون و صويفية والرابية كما تتفاخرين بجبل عمان و الويبدة والحسين. تجمعين ابناؤك من انحاء جسمك و ترقصين و تغنيين لهم في المدرج الروماني. تتباهين بالقلعة التي تشهد على امجادك و مضيك الجميل
احب صيفك و شتاءك. ما اجمل ليالييك في الصيف, اعشقها, كأنها فصلا من فصول الف ليلة و ليلة. اجلس في احدى مقاهيك او باراتك, ارتشف الشاي و القهوة و البيرة, ادخن الارجيلة, و اتسامر مع الاصدقاء, نلتف حول المائدة نتبادل الاحاديث التي لاتخلو عن ذكرك, هناك دائما الجديد, لم نعد نستطع مجاراتك, سوق جديد, مطعم جديد, مقهى جديد, مبنى جديد, مجلة, محطة اذاعية او تلفزيونية, نادي, شارع, متنزه, مكتبة, مهرجان, …الخ
عندما اسافر, اشتاق اليك, اشعر كالسمكة خارج الماء, اعود الى بيتي بشوق و لهفة. اشعر بالارتياح عند اول نفس من هواؤك, ابتسم لسماع اسمك في كابينة الطائرة ” نصف ساعة و نصل الي عمان” كانها موسيقي تتردد في اذني
عمان, اهواكي كما يهوى العشق عشيقتة, اهواكي كما يهوى الابن والدته. اشعر بالامان بطرقاتك, و اعيش بفرح بين ذراعيك. ضميني بقلبك وانتابع نمونا مع بعض لنسجل بصبتنا في التاريخ للأجيال القدمة
احبك
أشرح وعلل،كيف مدن مثل بغداد(أول مدينه العالم أحتضنت أول مكتيه في لعالم)و القدس(مهد الديانات)و بيروت( أحد أكبر مدن العالم التجاري قد أصبحوا أناثن في وصفك الغير موفق وهل الابنيه والشوارع أصبح لهم شعور وأحساس كاسائر البشر؟؟

alurdunialhurr, sure, Iraq is the cardle of all civilisation. We love Iraq and we don’t underestimate its historical importance. >>My point of saying Baghdad envies Amman is that Amman is at peace now, while Baghdad is not. Amman is in a far better situation than Baghdad these days.
