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