Be Happy! Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

Don't promise me a paradise!

Don't promise!

Don't tempt by crazy dreams!

Please, don't!

Don't tell me you will miss!

Just give a farewell kiss.

Forget about tomorrow!

It doesn't exist.

Forget about yesterday!

It's brought a sorrow.

You still persist?

We are guilty without a sin.

You give me a sarcastic grin?

Oh, don't make a din!

I'll pay for it myself,

you think about life yourself,

it's worthy for itself.

Don't call me back

in the evening of the day!

On the very brink of the precipice

I'll say: I forgive you.

I'll pray and will go my way.

But... anyway... Be happy!
