Children and Letters (To my little friend Elshan Gujlu) by Vagif Bayatly Oner (born 1948) The biggest eyes in the world Belong to flowers and to children. Most incomprehensible to adults are the words, Which children whisper to flowers, And flowers to children. To children, A mirror is a marvellous plate full of water, Everything is alive, Everything is readable to children Because their hearts are big Like their eyes, Children write The name of everything In big letters. As their fingers, which hold the pen Grow larger and stronger, As the children themselves Grow larger and stronger, The letters, in which they write Become smaller, And the flowers come to talk to them In an incomprehensible language as well.
