Oh beautiful little light of mine
In each day my son you shine
You give to all so much of you
The love, curiosity and decency too
Tender little light of mine
Hurting for little losses in life you find
It ain't as easy as I wish it would be
I can't protect you from life's cruelty
Comical little light of mine
Joker and actor ALL THE TIME
The joy you find in each day
Inspires me on my wayward way
Loving little light of mine
Hold me close at night I find
You talking even in your sleep
Not a secret can you keep

I would like to translate this poem
This sounds to me like joy of a loving parent and the pleasure invoked by watching your children. Which of course, is a real treat.
