'warm loaf of bread' (Nâzım Hikmet)

Let's give the world to the children

Let's give the world to the children just for one day
like a baloon in bright and striking colors to play with
let them play singing among the stars
let's give the world to the children
like a huge apple like a warm loaf of bread
at least for one day let them have enough
let's give the world to the children
at least for one day let the world learn friendship
children will get the world from our hands
they'll plant immortal trees.

Nâzım Hikmet

the best sea has yet to be crossed.
the best child has yet to be born.
our best days have yet to be lived;
and the best word I want to say to you
is the word I have not yet said.
