Dum spiro, spero

Татьяна-Валентина Мамонова
Dum spiro, spero*

Nobody comes to my life in vain.
With Zi I went to all states,
starting in Maine.
Iva taught me how to dance –
It felt like a real romance,
Jacques told me how to rhyme,
Michel suggested the pantomime.
Leo gave me lessons in history
and art mysteries.
Margaret introduced me to haute
couture
and I was able to mature.
Leishu offered me the knowledge
of video
and actually all the media.
And you made me know myself
to every little and tiny cell.
