tevynes meile, tada tn atjausi
kad tn turf tevyne, Enriko. Tai
toks prakilnus ir sventas jaus-
mas, kad, jeigu as pamatyciau
is karo uz tevyne griztanti gyva
ir sveika tave r mano krauja
ir siela = ir jeigu as suzinociau,
kad tn likai gyvas is baimes,
tai as = tavo tevas - kurs tave
is mokyklos dziaugsmingai griz-
tanti sutinku, sutikciau tave
verkdamas, as nustociau tave
mylejes ir Xxi mirties nesiociau
zaizda sirdyje.

Eidamas gatve atydziai save
dabok. Gatve irgi turf savo rel
kalavimus, kuriuos tu privalai
pildyti. Jei tn savo zingsnius
ir judejimus mazini namuose,
tai argi nereikia taip pat elgtis
ir gatveje, mes gatve, tai visV
zmoniq namas?
Atmink tai. Susitikes seneli
vargsa, moteriske kudikiu ne
sina, raisa, palinkusi nuo nastos
- duck jiems kelia: mes pri-
valome gerbti sentative, netur-
ta, motinos meile, nelaime ir
darba.
