MY CHILDREN

-with love to my grandchildren-

 

The steering wheel of my car is straining me

I can't turn it to the right...!

 

Insistently; It says towards Ayvalık... Insistently...!

 

I love Çanakkale very much, but;

Defne is calling me, Zehra is calling me...

My daughter; Come father, she says...!

 

I will not stay in Çanakkale...!

 

Your grandfather is heading towards you...! Wait...

Wait, my children...

 

Let's embrace, hop, jump,

Shout, call, scream, don't fit into your shell,

 

Want the sea, want the pool, want a game,

 

Be a fuss to stay in volleyball

 

Suppress them with your stubborn screams,

 

Want to play with the birds,

Put this on, take that off,

Make us angry from time to time,

Make us say ugh...!

 

How nice it is to be with you...!

Telling you to stop, my child, don't do it, my child,

From time to time to argue, to quarrel,

How beautiful, how cute...!

 

Don't lose your action,

Always keep your love of life high.

 

Call your friends, run and play,

Fill up all your time...

Laugh, have fun, keep your morale high,

And take life lightly...!

 

The room is messy, the furniture is scattered, what does it matter...!

 

He came, this one went, this one was there, this one wasn't, what does it matter...!

 

You have a good vacation, spend quality time, my child,

 

Never get bored, never get hurt, don't get angry, my dears...

 

But...!

Please don't upset each other,

 

Your friends too...

 

Leave each other alone...

Let everyone act freely,

 

And express themselves freely.

 

Don't interrupt... Please be relaxed,

 

Let him talk to the end, freely, to the end...!

 

And let everyone solve their own problems,

 

Don't interrupt the strong dialogue,

Also don't pay attention to everything...!

 

Let events flow, calm, peaceful... Let it go, let it go...!

 

The mother of the little ones, my little one;

 

With a high sense of calm and comfort, but cautious,

No need to worry, comfortable and comfortable... my dear...

 

Yes, and finally I say;

 

Wait...

We will be together for dinner, my dear children...

Wait, I'm coming...!

 

Your grandfather;
