Analysis of About My Mother
Justina Sviatodukhova 1978 (Sumy region)
I
I love my Mother very much,
She is my Teacher and True Friend,
Her love is strict, winning my heart,
kindness and wisdom are Her Fame.
She is the first to help and warn
about possible mistake
and if it happens something’s wrong,
She comforts me and gives the strength.
Refrain:
WISDOM - is Your real name
LOVE is where You are
Your BELIEF in me can save
You’re my Morning Star
II
I try to be a docile child,
and let Your hopes come true:
someday the flowers will bloom,
they will be all for You;
it’s You who planted them with care,
with love and kindness in my soul,
You made my life bloom up with HOPE,
I’m sure Your seeds of love will grow!
Refrain:
WISDOM - is Your real name,
LOVE is where You are,
Your BELIEF in me can save,
You’re my Morning Star.
Happiness is what You give,
knowledge how to live
and the most important thing –
LIFE – that’s everything!
