[Origin of BABUSHKA <br /> <br />Russian, grandmother, diminutive of baba old woman <br /> First Known Use: 1938] <br /> <br /> <br />Is it a dream <br /> or real? <br /> Last night <br /> an old butterfly resembles my poor mom <br /> whispered <br /> resting on my shoulder; <br /> 'I rub my wings <br /> and this powder <br /> gives you the strength <br /> to fly wherever you insist to go? ' <br /> And she disappeared at once. <br /> O in the morning I found some powder <br /> on my limbs, I tried to lift my useless heavy body <br /> but it's very hard and I see <br /> boundaries and barriers ahead? <br /> <br />to Doctor Priyantha Bogamuwa who left for Moscow today, early in the morning! <br /> <br />nimal p.dunuhinga<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/babushka-3/
