“Half a Century In the Garden of Children’s Poetry
|
|
is a journey to the world of children, a world in which the unoccupied mind is fascinated by and immersed in its present time. |

"Book"
|
|
"I am a gentle friend
Wise and well spoken
A lot I speak about
Though mute I remain
A lot I can advise
Many lessons I know
A friend who is artful,
Harmless and useful
Don’t ignore me
I am a gentle friend"
|
|
"Tree"
|
|
"With my own hands I plant a tree
Dig a trench to bring water to its foot
Some grass seeds on its soil
I throw to remain after me
Slowly my tree will sprout leaves and more
Making thick branches overhead
Grass grows green and lush
A lawn appears under my tree
Summers when heat is on
My tree opens its umbrella
Makes it shady cool
Attracts any one who passes by
At its foot an exhausted fainting one
In a hot mid day falls into sleep
Awakes and says whoever planted here
This tree, may your soul be always in peace"

"Children of Iran"
|
|
"We are the smiling flowers,
Children of Iran
Dear as our lives
We take our pure Iran
We must be smart,
Vigilant and watchful
Able we must be,
In order to guard Iran
Be prosperous, Iran
Be free, Iran
From us, your children,
Be happy at heart, Iran."
