A Child's Eternal Song Poem by Istabraq Al Ahmadi

Mama, mama sing for me
On the grass, under the tree.
Let my heart dance with your voice,
And let the world with me rejoice.

Sing for me while I play,
Sing for me all night and day,
For in your eyes I'll live,
And hope your song for me will give.

Sing for me the song of love,
And write it on the stars above,
Or write it on the moon so bright
Or send it with the breeze at night
Where the flowers merrily bend
And their fragrance everywhere send
So that love will melt in the air
For our days to be nice and fair.

Sing for me to sing for you
Songs that fall as the morning dew
On your ears, cheeks and eyes
And on your heart to relieve your sighs.

And I'll sing for you of the years
You kindled for me, and the tears
In sleepless nights you shed
Over me when sick in bed.
Mama with me will be all along
For she is my eternal song.
