Sweet Scent of Gratitude
When I was a child You weaned me With the jealous care of your arms And those bold beautiful blue skies You gave me for my tender wings Mother hen doesn't kill But she chastizes When she grasps you in her claws You see it in her eyes - the love And it's overflowing With a feeling you cannot say Or even print into time For it's the rarest jewel of all When she screamed There was a pain That simply ripped her apart Though she knew, deep n her heart That if her boy is to make it big Then my tears would make me stronger So she smiles through the pain Now I made it big And I'm on the way to give this flower To my Mama as but a simple 'Thank you' With the first dime I make for myself I run across the street And the boat I row across the river To that old cottage on the hill Where my little feet took their first steps I feel that breeze and I do not know If this is simply enough But I know roses are her favorite So I fly with my now mighty wings As joy overwhelms my grateful heart And yes I run to Mama's room To see that she was asleep A cold nose cannot smell a rossy rose Nor a soulless eye see its beauty I stare at her, pale And my tears cannot flow My heart is silent My mind is blackened My soul is broken My spirit groans out loud I should have given my roses When the heart was warm And the nose was fit To smell the sweet scent of gratitude

"Ми усе подолаємо разом..."
«Ми усе подолаємо разом, Ми усе з тобою минем, І я не боюся поразки, Я не боюсь, що помрем!» А я чула і вірила щиро, Немов би п'ять років було, Я була неймовірно щаслива І такою не стану вже знов. І знаєш, коли мені складно, Я твої згадаю слова — Вони затримають слабкість, Запевнять мене, що жива... «Ми разом усе подолаєм! Мила, ти чуєш мене?» Я чую і знову чекаю, Що небо тебе поверне... І ось майже два роки Шукаю тебе — не знайшла, І, до смерті роблячи кроки, Я твої згадаю слова... І до сліз сон мене вразить, Де знову почую тебе: «Ми усе подолаємо разом, Ми усе з тобою минем...»

I Saw a Dream
I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.
