"Dilli-Darling"

                         

Wake me up
When I sleep,
Because your harms is too secure
For me to think of the threat of this world.
Put me upright if I start to snore
Because your laps is too soft
For me to forget about sleeps.
Call my name if you see me smile
While sleeping, because I cannot
Withstand the comfort of your company in my dreams.
Hoo dilli-darling!
Kiss my forehead
When you are leaving
Because it gives me
The sense of hope
And memories of your care.
Dilli-darling;...reason why I cannot walk on my path alone
Is that, there are hills I cannot climb alone,
Stones never can I push alone,
Valleys I can failed in an attempt to ascend alone,
Tone I cannot nurse alone from my toe.
I can make a step or two
But I cannot carry my weight and load alone.
