The Dreaming Child Poem by Akhtar Jawad

You are innocent and cute,
You are pretty and lovely,
When you move your lips,
As if you are being fed,
While dreaming what you sing,
I can understand,
The language of your music,
Yes you muse,
Yes you amuse,
You speak like a flute,
When sleep in the arms,
You look like a rose,
In the greenery of leaves,
You look like a moon,
In the blue sky,
You look like a mermaid,
In the waves of ocean,
With your head on the arms,
When you dream sweetheart,
An angel smiles,
That is hidden in you,
I know your dreams,
But you don’t know,
So was I,
Not at all ugly!
