Do You Believe Me? Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

- Do you believe me?
- I do.
- Give me your hand, we’ll fly.
I’ll help you, I do not lie.
- Wait! We are not in a hurry!
And… I am afraid.
- Don’t worry! I am your aide.
- I am scared. Hold me tight
And never let me go!
- I’ll be forever with you,
You have to know.
- Do you love me?
Be honest!
- I do. I am the maddest
And would like to tell you the truth:
From my very early youth
I was afraid to fly.
May be because I was too shy?
But you inspire confidence in me.
-, Now I can see,
- Together we can do anything.
- I love you too and it’s true.
- Now look! I am flying.
With the birds I am vying.
