In the hospital, among all the patients, There was a lonely boy lying there, It was visible to everyone from the outside, Why didn’t you take care of these legs?
The candle was melting, he was fading away, The strength was so noticeably leaving. I desperately bit my lips until they bled, That's why everyone around them suffered.
Aunt Lena, that is, a nurse, She stroked the child's head. He asked, overcoming fear, Those words were childishly timid.
“Can I not die today? It's my birthday on Saturday. I will quickly wipe away all my tears, This is not yet a defeat.
But can I still live? Well, at least one more week. I need to hurry up a little And finish everything I can.
I really need to live a couple of days, To meet my sister again. And solve a difficult problem, And save someone from a scumbag.
There are so many urgent matters in the world, Who will be able to cope with this... Of course, I would really like to There are those who are healthy and not sick.
I would like to become a doctor later, Help all those who are very sick. The fact that I’m sick has nothing to do with it, The main thing is that grief disappears.
It's probably good outside... The boys are playing football now. And how good it is when They don't take yours from you.
I dream, but not for myself, For other girls and boys. And I want all the guys There was a lot of bread, games, books.
So that "Children's" is still a home, Not a government barracks, a gray barracks. And someone loved from the heart, So that everyone could meet their mother.
I want to forgive everyone from my heart, I have very little time left to live... I don't have the strength to endure the pain. I already want to see God”...
He survived another week. I rejoiced at every new meeting. Let not everything I thought I did, But he lit other candles with himself.
Aunt Lena listened to him, Sincere confession of a child. And in my soul I prayed for him, Stepping a little to the side.
The boy passed away in the morning... She wiped away her tears carefully. “Can I not die today?” And she said quietly: “It’s possible.”
