If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

–Rudyard Kipling

Tell him
That my soul cried because I loved the unfortunate --
With their scraps and their manners.
In their misery, bitterness, loved them endlessly.

Tell God that I saw how they went to his holy Church,
Tell him that I heard the preacher promise them a
Bliss in heaven.

But the preacher never was in their shoes.
These unfortunate are going to Hell, something far away from his path.
"Blessed are the poor" - he read without much assurance ...
But they lost their faith, faith in the allmighty heavens.
Tell him
That this "pastor" got a shiny new Home
Under the cedar tree shadows.
Where peace and contentment keep him protected from the sins and human
Love.

Tell him
That suffering people in pain are waiting for his arrival.
Tell him that I looked everywhere but found him not,
That I prayed the whole night and my soul bleeded, but he did not come.

Say to God, tell him: quit sitting happily in your Paradise
Don't let us stay in this Hell
Because of the suffering, the sick and rejected, with tears
stretch their hands toward him.
Tell him: those poor are waiting for a sign from you.
That the orphans and homeless, the stupid, possessed and exhausted, are waiting for him.

Tell God, oh! Tell him
That he was too long in the cathedrals and the lovely churches
With their modern architecture.
Tell him he was too long in the holy places
Where we pray at His altars
And where there is nobody, only priests.
Tell God: come to the ghetto, oh, tell him: come
Soon!

А давай наперегонки до горки? - предложил он ей, предвкушая победу.
- Неа. - отказалась она - Воспитательница сказала не бегать. Попадет потом.
- Струсила? Сдаешься? - подначил он ее и засмеялся обидно.
- Вот еще. - фыркнула она и рванула с места к горке. Потом они сидели в группе, наказанные, под присмотром нянечки, смотрели в окно как гуляют ругие и дулись друг на друга и на воспитательницу.

- Говорила тебе - попадет, - бурчала она.
- Я бы тебя перегнал обязательно - дулся он
- - Ты нечестно побежала. Я не приготовился...
---------------------------------------------------------

- - А спорим, я быстрей тебя читаю? - предложил он ей.
- - Хахаха. - приняла она пари - Вот будут проверять технику чтения и посмотрим. Если я быстрее - будешь мой портфель до дому и до школы таскать всю неделю.
- А если я - отдаешь мне свои яблоки всю неделю! - согласился он. Потом он пыхтел по дороге с двумя ранцами и бурчал:
- - Ну и что! Зато ты не запоминаешь, что читаешь и пишешь медленнее. Спорим?...
---------------------------------------------------------

- А давай поиграем. - предложил он
- - Как будто бы я рыцарь, а ты как будто бы дама сердца.
- Дурак. - почему-то обиделась она.
- Слабо? - засмеялся он
- - Слабо смущаться при виде меня? И дураком не обзываться тоже слабо.
- - И ничего не слабо. - повелась она - Тогда вот чего. Ты меня тоже дурой не обзываешь и защищаешь.
- Само собой - кивнул он - А ты мне алгебру решаешь. Не рыцарское это дело.
- А ты мне сочинения пишешь. - Хихикнула она
- Врать и сочинять - как раз рыцарское дело. А потом он оправдывался в телефон:
- А не надо было себя как дура вести. Тогда никто бы дурой и не назвал. Я, кстати, и извинился сразу...

----------------------------------------------------------------

- Ты сможешь сыграть влюбленного в меня человека? - спросила она
- С трудом. - ехидно ответил он - Я тебя слишком хорошо знаю. А что случилось?
- На вечеринку пригласили. А одной идти не хочется. Будут предлагать всякое
- Нуу.. Я даже не знаю, протянул он.
- Слабо? - подначила она.
- И ничего не слабо, - принял он предложение - С тебя пачка сигар, кстати.
- За что? - не поняла она.
- Эскорт нынче дорог, - развел руками он. А по дороге домой он бурчал: - Сыграй влюбленного, сыграй влюбленного. А сама по роже лупит ни за что... Влюбленные между прочим целоваться лезут обычно
------------------------------------------------------------------

- Что это? - спросила она.
- Кольцо. Не очевидно разве? - промямлил он.
- Нибелунгов? Власти? Какая-то новая игра затевается?
- -Угу. Давай в мужа и жену поиграем, - выпалил он
- - Надо подумать, - кивнула она.
- Слабо? - подначил он.
- И ничего не слабо, - протянула она - А мы не заигрываемся?
- Да разведемся если что. Делов-то. - хмыкнул он. А потом он оправдывался:
- А откуда мне знать, как предложения делаются? Я ж в первый раз предлагаю. Ну хочешь еще раз попробую? Мне не слабо.
- Сыграем в родителей? - предложила она.
- Давай. В моих или в твоих? - согласился он
- - Дурак. В родителей собственного ребенка. Слабо?
- Ого, как, - задумался он - Не слабо, конечно, но трудно, небось.
- - Сдаешься? - огорчилась она
- Не, не. Когда это я тебе сдавался? Играю, конечно, - решился он.
- - Усложняем игру. Ты теперь играешь в бабушку. - Правда? - не поверила она. - 3900. - кивнул он - Пацан. Слабо тебе в бабушку сыграть?
- - А ты в данном случае во что играешь?
- В мужа бабушки, - засмеялся он
- - Глупо мне в бабушку играть. - В де-душ-ку. Как бы ты тут не молодился, - засмеялась она
- - Или слабо?
- Куда я денусь-то...

- Она сидела у его кровати и плакала: - Сдаешься? Ты сдаешься что ли? Выходишь из игры? Слабо еще поиграть?
- - Угу. Похоже, что так, - ответил он - Неплохо поиграли, да?
- Ты проиграл, раз сдаешься. Понял? Проиграл.
- Спорное утверждение, - улыбнулся он и умер".

Lyrics:

Happy Birthday...so make a wish

Verse 1:
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys.
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got'a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life?
Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...

Chorus:
what I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake!

Verse 2:
I've got a millon excuses to why you died
Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
Who's to say it woulda worked, and who's to say it wouldn't have?
I was young and strugglin' but old enough to be your dad
The fear of being my father has never disappeared
Pondering frequently while I'm sippin' on my beer
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
So when it came time to create I made a mistake
Now you've got a little brother maybe he's really you?
Maybe you really forgave us knowin' we was confused?
Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowin' that your father's doin' the right thing now?
I never tell a woman what to do with her body
But if she don't love children then we can't party
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...

Chorus:
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
What I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake!

And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space
Happy birthday...

From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
In a place without time and space

Happy birthday...

Chorus:
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
What I thought was a dream (make a wish)
Was as real as it seemed

I made a mistake...!
