remember me when i am gone away,        gone far away into the silent land;         when you can no more hold me by the hand,nor i half turn to go, yet turning stay.remember me when no more day by day        you tell me of our future that you plann'd:         only remember me; you understandit will be late to counsel then or pray.yet if you should forget me for a while        and afterwards remember, do not grieve:         for if the darkness and corruption leave        a vestige of the thoughts that once i had,better by far you should forget and smile        than that you should remember and be sad.

westlife  -  you raise me up

when i am down and, oh my soul, so weary; when troubles come and my heart burdened be; then, i am still and wait here in the silence,until you come and sit awhile with me.you raise me up, so i can stand on mountains; you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; i am strong, when i am on your shoulders; you raise me up… to more than i can be.there is no life – no life without its hunger; each restless heart beats so imperfectly; but when you come and i am filled with wonder,sometimes, i think i glimpse eternity.

my best this city of st. peterburg.v it has a cafe and cinema all that i lyublyu.esche i'll be in moscow, too, there klassno.so all parties can reach the stars in the tv beauty! i love the and i advise you to go дальше сам

«do not chase happiness: it always is in you» (pythagoras).personally i have understood for a long time already, why for happiness search (that we meant by it) very important to stop, that freeze frame is very important. it appears, the biggest obstacle in a way fortunately is a pursuit of it, passionate desire it to reach. it appears, the happiness is not searched, it is not required, is not planned, not won — it comes itself when will consider you worthy. it appears, it is necessary to search not for happiness, and something absolutely another. it is necessary to aspire not fortunately, and to things which will call it as special gift and destiny compensation. happiness not in finding, and in change to the best. happiness not the nearest purpose, to which only one step, — it in a way conducting to the star sky over you and to eternal values in your soul, it in a way conducting towards to people, god and the whole world even if your feet aching for weariness, refuse to go. the happiness is the highest blessing in your life which it is necessary to reach long and which at the same time hastens to you towards in reply to your own efforts

my usual shopping round

we go shopping every day. the other day my mother took

me on a usual shopping round. we went to the grocer's and

greengrocer's as we had run out of sugar and onions.

at the greengrocer's there was a long queue. but we had

nothing to do but stand in the queue if we wanted to get to

the counter and have some onions. the shop-girl weighed us

half a kilo of onions, we thanked her and went out. then we

made our way to the grocer's where we bought a kilo of sugar

and some sausage. we were about to go home as my mother

suddenly remembered we had hardly any bread in the house.

we dropped in at the baker's and bought a loaf of brown

bread, some rolls and buns. on our way home the mother

decided to call at a commercial shop. she was looking for a

present to my father — as it was his birthday soon.

as soon as we entered

the shop, we found ourselves in a

fantastic motley city of silk skirts and shirts, woolen pullovers,

frocks and leather boots and shoes. the smiling girl

met us at the counter. my mother said she wanted to buy a

size 50 shirt of a dark-blue colour. the girl suggested looking

at a dark-blue cotton shirt with short sleeves. the shirt was

the latest fashion and we were sure the father would like it.

we paid the money at the cash-desk. the cashier gave

us a

receipt and with it we came up to the shop-assistant. she

passed us a wrapped parcel with the shirt, thanked us and

added they were always glad to see us at their shop and we

happy and a bit excited went out of the shop.
