Devoted to our dad and mum
The Best Mum!
Across the years I could recall
My mother’s heart was best of all.
She was the kindest, cleverest,
Responsible, generous, optimist.
At any kind of weather
She was an ideal mother.
For our father – a reliable wife
All years long, during the whole life.
Dad was working from morning till night
For good harvest, for fields be bright.
He was a kolkhoz agronomist,
Faithful and hardworking specialist.
Mum was working from morning till night
For our well-being - that meant:
Sewing, knitting, cleaning, washing,
Cooking, baking, housekeeping.
Parents had a stove-heating,
Mother baked there everything.
Her bread was tasty and delicious.
What were her pies made? Can you guess?
-Wake up! It’s time to eat pancakes!-
Her soft voice is still in my ears.
We quickly got up and gathered
To eat pancakes, pies together.
At evenings when the lamp was fit,
Around the fire the family sat.
Two sisters, two brothers and a mother
We were waiting for our father.
Many beautiful songs were heard
Mum’s voice was just like a bird.
Like mum all of us songs enjoy.
We like to bring high spirits, joy.
In May she would be eighty – two.
Father’s birthday was in May too.
But May Day became a tragic day.
Our dear Mum has gone away.
I prefer to come to her place alone.
To her grave among the trees: “Hello!
Glad to meet you! How are you?”
-Well, thanks. And what about you?
- Your twelve grandchildren are grown-ups.
Girls are teachers, boys are students.
They often meet each other
To have a good time together.
Your five great-grandchildren are all right!
-I am very glad to know that.
-Your star is still on the sky
Brightly continues to fly.
Every time it helps us to live.
Everywhere, always. I believe.
-It’s my duty to help you, dear,
Here, there and everywhere!
