My child,

Perhaps because I wasn’t worthy of being called ‘human’

I was looking at you unconcerned, within my convenience

Maybe because I was afraid of losing my tranquility

My child, for all these, I apologize

I was watching you with cold-blooded ignorance

Running towards nowhere like a fugitive

‘Hope’ being your only coat and shelter

Becoming old before you were even born

Breaking like a wave on an unfriendly beach

My child, for all these, I am asking for your forgiveness

Now, I am staring at your two eyes, which are worn out by saltiness

I am blaming the sea for becoming the cause of your death

I am leaning to kiss you without any shame

Your pale forehead where stars are shining

And instead of telling you fairytales, I, your mother

Gods and Angels are singing lullabies to you

My child, for all these, I am asking for your forgiveness
