If you pick up a bouquet
Leonid Rozumenko 1961 (Kyiv)
It’s common to make love
Without having kids,
And the concept of gifts
Hides possible resolve.
I hope, it is OK,
That child is a precious flower.
If you pick up a bouquet,
Make a present for grandmother.
Coincidence is taken,
And rapture is a fact
If the sleep of yours and waken
Created peaceful pact.
How often among other measures
Do we need to remember grandmothers?
Each age, dear friend, has its pleasures
But youth has its own and others.
