Twinkle Twinkle Iran's Star

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what we are
Tomorrow is another day
We will face it with dismay
Today the flowers seem to bloom
Tomorrow they will mourn with gloom
Tomorrow we will do the same
Past and future, silly game
Today I bleed, tomorrow heal
Summer and winter, hideous chill
Twinkle twinkle little star
Mock me and my constant war
There’s a moon that shines so bright
Baby sleep well, stop your fight
Hold your doll and close your eyes
They killed your day, bad bad guys
To sleep, it’s your only way
We both won’t see end of may
Twinkle twinkle little star
Sleeping pill, won’t heal the scar

Of course this is so much more than a nursery rhyme. I am sorry that any child in any part of the world would have these things as part of her life. Well done, Ebrahm. Poets of the world unite. Love, Joyce
