Don't Go Daddy Poem by Ayhan Diril

Don't go daddy,
Stay some more.
Do not close your eyes.
Do not leave my hand.
No more can I stand.

This is so early.
It was you yesterday
Watering the flowers
In our garden.
Will I water them?
On your grave soon?

Let me dry
Your cold sweat
Our eyes are also wet
Do they hurt you much?
Shall I give you a soft touch?

This story ended so early.
Is it another joke you make?
Please angel of death,
Give us one more night.

Look it is me on the right
Mum is on his left.
As if you knew beforehand
You would leave us
You would never smile.
So hard to withstand.

Don't go daddy,
Stay some more.
At least for a day.
Let me finish my pray
