To cheer up a friend

Ирина Фетисова-Мюллерсон
My dearest, darling, my wonderful friend!
Suffering in life brings us closer to perfection!
Can you imagine how immensely perfect 
Are we going to be one day, when our time is up?
We shall meet in Heaven like two spotless,
Innocent angels, playing our little violins,
Sitting under blossoming magnolia tree,
Singing myriads transparent melodies?
Can you imagine us, sipping morning nectar,
From heavenly beautiful petals
While lying down on the bench made of ivy?
We shall comb each other’s long hair,
Decorating them with magnificent lilac rhododendrons,
And being happy forever, looking at fellow sufferers
From above, knowing already that everything
Is coming and going on its own time.
And that only true love stays forever?
