Flowers on my babushka’s balcony. She grew them herself!
“When I am dead, then bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields,
the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper’s plunging shore
My eyes could see,
my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.”
– Taras Shevchenko
