We need more love today!

In a happy family love must flow in all directions. Communications are easy and honest between all generations as it is very important to understand needs of every member of the family.

In February 2013 I wrote in Russian a poem expressing feelings of my wife and myself. The poem written  for our children and grandchildren. Later some of our friends told us that it is applicable to all children and grandchildren.

Below is the poem in English and in Russian. I ask your forgiveness for the loose translation from Russian into English. I hope that you will understand the meaning of the poem.

********************  WE NEED MORE LOVE TODAY!  **************************

We were waiting for you when we were

Single. Then when we married.

We were waiting for you for years,

Then daily and every hour.

*

We loved you before you were born

And love you very much today
Thank you, Lord, for children and

Grandchildren, your gifts to us!

*

Our parents and older relatives passed

Away and their love is in our memories.

Some of our friends left this world too.

We miss their love very much!

*

You are our youth and light.

Our love to you grows every day.

Please love us more,

We need more love today!

*

Love us, show us your love!

There is no sense of hiding it.

Nobody knows how long we’ll

Be together. Hope many years!

*

*****************************  ЛЮБИТЕ НАС!  *********************

*

Мы ждали вас, когда мы были одиноки.
Затем когда уж было двое нас.
Мы ждали вас годами, месяцами.
Затем уж каждый день и каждый час.

*

Любили вас до вашего рожденья,
И любим безгранично вас сейчас.
Спасибо, Бог, за ваше появленье,
За то, что дал нам счастье любить вас!

*

Сегодня мы намного старше стали,

Сегодня дети взрослые у вас.
Родителей давно мы потеряли
И их любовь лишь в памяти у нас.

*

Ушли все те, кто нас постарше был.

Постарше был и крепко нас любил.

Ушли ближайшие друзья не раз,

Нам очень нехватает их сейчас!

*

Наша любовь растёт и процветает,
В семье ведь много больше стало вас.
Обратной же любви нам нехватает,
Дети и внуки, любите больше нас!

*

Любите нас, показывайте это,
Любви стесняться просто смысла нет.
Никто не знает, сколько будем вместе.
Надеемся, ещё немало лет!

Several quotes about summer.

I believe that summer is our time, a time for the people, and that no politician should be allowed to speak to us during the summer. They can start talking again after Labor Day.

Lewis Black

Both the Winter and the Summer Solstices are expressions of love. They show us the opposition of light and dark, expansion and contraction, that characterize our experiences in the Earth school so that we can recognize our options as we move through our lives.

Gary Zukav

Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all’s right with the world.

Ada Louise Huxtable

Summer is like the ultimate one-night stand…hot as hell, totally thrilling, and gone before you know it.
