English excerpts for TÖKUBARN (Adopted Child):

I watch in awe the world and you
Your hand and cheek.
You came to me in a quiet moment,
And I kissed you, my dear.
Your face was like a sensitive flower 
growing into the sky.

It was like God had visited.
I don't know what it is,
But nothing in the whole world
Have I loved more than you.
I never carried you in my body,
But I carry you always in my heart.
