Poetry from Marjona Xushvaqtova

Central Asian teen girls in white collared school uniform shirts and long dark braided hair standing in a line next to each other. The author of this piece is in the middle facing the camera.
Spring!

We waited for you when we were children,
We used to run down the hill,
Blue-green grass is the strangest corner,
Bud reminded you today.

We would build a tent out of grass,
What a hero Clouds was.
We made wreaths, beautiful,
Your beauty was also a gem.

When I think about it, I don't appreciate you. 
I will not laugh with you when the time comes.
I didn't become your daughter, Marjon, 
I don't feel you com, spring...

Spring...
