  Today, I have to go to a meeting, To the mother who lost her son… I will finally meet the hero, mother, I dedicated the poems to her son. And when she begins to read poems, God give strength, mother of a soldier. All the dreams of terrible prophets came true, Her only boy passed away… He flew up like a white apple blossom Falls to say goodbye to us. He sends us greetings from the sky with cranes… So that his feat will be remembered forever. Mother did not confess for several days that her son was no longer in this world… She did not know, but felt deeply that this terrible news would come to the house. I looked at the photo, into young eyes… The sky is blue in them, the soul wants to scream… But what can I say about my mother, I can't imagine how she can live with this…
