    To me it Dancing with Beauty,





    Вот мой отзыв:



    Как часто с сердцем замиранья

    Мы вспоминаем Матерей,

    Их дар Любить, их рук касанье,

    и осторожное дыханье -

    за счастье жизни их детей

    Когда проснувшийся из детства,

    Ты закружишься по Земле,

    То материнское наследство с тобою будет и в тебе...

    И счастье музыкою Танца с тобою пребудет до конца,

    когда ты даришь сердце людям на мать похожа(похожих) и отца...

    Покуда памятью своею в душе их образы хранишь

    Ты в Жизни всё преодолеешь и многим многое простишь...












    Sincerely yours,

    Dmitry A. Lubich
