Tüm çocuklarına dünyanın
Babalı çocuklar dilerim,
Doyasıya yaşayabilsinler diye
Çocukluklarını.
Doyasıya efelensinler diye
Komşu çocuklarına.
Değil mi ki
Benim babam senin baban döver
Eve gelince,
Varsın sapanla kırılsın camlar
Tırmansınlar elma dallarına
Gönüllerince.

* Ben bu kitabı okuyalı yıllar oluyor ama burada görünce yazmadan yapamadım.
*Bu kitap benim için çok özel, babam öldükten (2001) sonra yayınlandı (2005) ve ben arka kapağı okuyunca ağlayarak aldım, ama birkaç sene sonra okuyabildim. 10 senedir de babamın doğum gününde, ölüm yıl dönümünde ve babalar gününde bu kitaptan şiirler paylaşıyorum. Bu kadar özel olmasının sebebi benim babamda uzun boylu, sarışın, mavi gözlü biriydi. Bu yüzden sanki kitapta babam anlatılıyor. Ve ne acıdır ki o da aynı şekilde bir hastane odasında kanser illeti yüzünden vefat etti.

*Arsız ölüm
Sessiz ölüm
Hırsız ölüm

Babamı kopardı benden
Çözüverdi ellerini
Sezdirmeden ellerimden.
