I wrote the following poem after visiting Kiev and experiencing the joy, warmth, humour, kindness, hospitality of the Ukrainian people and particularly the young people who managed the Dream House Hostel. One girl though was in tears at reception on day and her friends rallied around her. I gave her an origami crane.. THE GIRL WITH FLOWERS IN HER HAIR The babushka sang her mournful tune in a minor key serenading on Kiev’s ancient cobbled street Andriivsky Uzviz. Was it a lullaby she sang for you? “Hush sweet girl, your tears are carried on the crane’s wing. And your dreams so shattered this day at Dream House are not so lost. The butterfly will lift your dreams on her delicate wing. So hush sweet girl.” And all in Kiev so gentle and kind serenely sing and join in the chorus. as you wear flowers in your hair with pretty coloured ribbons flying the colours of Ukraine. Their song lifts your spirit sweet girl and your dreams will travel home with the crane and the butterfly lullaby. 27th June 2012
