- With empathy and pain The war took one life In winter days, on Christmas Day. A faithful patriot went to God On a beautiful, pure and fabulous holiday. He is our countryman, he worked in Verbka, He held various positions in the household , A hard-working, polite, kind man His fellow villagers and relatives were proud of him. The summons came to Yuriy in June - Nenka Ukraine must be defended, He went to the very hell of Donbas, To incinerate the damned enemies. He fulfilled his duty And he had to be under Debaltsev, He lived through hell under Ilovaisk, He was able to feel all the grief on himself. Yuriy undermined his health, He was treated in the hospital, And later he returned to the war - He remained a loyal patriot. On a cold evening on holy Christmas, His soul soared to Heaven, And a star shone over Artemivsk - He wanted to get to God's Paradise. A cold wind blew, he was in a hurry, From the East he brought news of a fellow villager, To his family, friends and relatives This news broke the heart with pain. The whole village gathered to see him on his way. A sea of people wept and sobbed. Because a real soldier and fighter They were buried with a hymn, with prayers. A military salute sounded loudly And out loud, did I sob or cry family, May God accept him into the Kingdom - All-Ukrainian hero, father, son. God, give strength and patience to relatives God helps to bear the pain, Heroes remain alive And each of us remembers them all. 15.01 .2015. Svetlana Boyko
