It's A Real Story Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

It's a real story

of a woman and man;

and it's a story

of my mummy and dad.

It was the time

of the Second World War,

they've met in Odessa

and it was a chance

when two young people

didn't live in advance.

My daddy was wounded

in April month,

my mother was there

and she couldn't ignore,

she'd taken care

of the soldier of war.

The war had finished

and my daddy returned

to the lady that cared

for the soldier of war.

It was so normal

to fall in love

with the woman of wisdom

and she was my mum.
