To Papa Hemingway

Эрнст Миллер
Papa asked you to stay close
To the human soul next to you
In the world where anything goes
And you always have things due

The old man who brought nothing from sea
Of human struggle for existence
Who lost to win and be free
Overcoming his life hindrance

The love that crashed circumstances
More powerful than bullets and pain
Removing all barriers and fences
Lifting war victims lost in a vain

Friendship I wish was here
Thinking of me and near
With freedom to do anything
That random life could bring
