Usman Dewan Poetry

Sleep Soundly sweet Child.
Dream dreams of better things.
Enjoy the slumber without the wars.
Dwell in a land of peace.
Dream Dreams, Sweet Child.
dance in fields of lillies,
float on clouds with angels.
climb trees and eat fruit.
no matter what you dream,
Dream Dreams of things better than this.
Your Mother Loves you,
don't forget that.
Your Father too.
But your mother left and your father died.
And your uncle finds pleasure in your tiny body.
Dream Dreams sweet Child, Escape from this place.
You needn't speak a word,
we can see your suffering.
You needn't hide from us,
We are here to help.
We will take you away from here sweet Child...
Just believe and Hold fast.
Jesus will save you from this horror.
Just believe and He will be here,
He will take you up in his arms,
He will Chase away your horrors.
Dream Dreams, In your coffin...
Your Uncle went too far,
some may say.
But Jesus took you away,
Don't forget your Dreams sweet Child.
You are now safe,
You are now clean
You have finally escaped.
No more need for Dreams Precious Child,
Jesus is Here to Stay.
