I love my region...

How strange it is to hear this:

After all, every person loves his own land!

But the sky is blue here, the sun is higher

And May here is the color of lilac!

Summer smells like rain and hay,

The river is calling with coolness...

And autumn is dressed in gold,

Clouds float in wisps.

Winter beckons into the distance along the ski track,

On a frosty morning the snow crunches...

And the river will overflow its banks in April.

The forest is noisy in the spring...

I love my region!

I've seen a lot of places

And you can go around half the world,

But closer and dearer native land,

I don't think I can find any more!

(A. Kobleva.)
