Mana Latvija

Kā dzintars jūras krastā mirgo,

Melna kā nafta okeāna krastā.

Salda kā Laimas konfekte,

Rūgta kā melnais balzams.

Pogo kā lakstīgala krūmā,

Klusē kā mēmākais no mēmajiem.

Kas liek tā Tev būt?

Vai baidies par saviem bērniem,

Kas pasaules malās tiek nesti?

Nebaidies tie Tevi neaizmirsīs,

Tie vienmēr pie Tevis būs klāt.

Caur pasaules izliktiem šķēršļiem

Tu nirsti.

Citādi nespēj Tu izdzīvot.

Neviens jau Tev neļaus tāpat!

Bet mācies būt pati par sevi,

Mācies pasaules naidu

Vērst sev par labu.

Mācies klusēt, kad vajag,

Teikt savu vārdu, kad citi klusē!

—Kristīne Ozola, Latvija
