Letter to Abai

Letter to Abai  

     Dear Abai Ata! This year we are celebrating your 175th birthday. Everybody knows your poems and words from their childhood. Kazakh people are proud of your creativity and talent. Nowadays Kazakhstan is famous thanks to your labour.

      Personally, I really love your songs. Especially "Желсізтүндежарықай". Every time I listen to this song and remember my childhood when I used to live with my grandparents in the village. In the evenings my grandmother sang me your songs. These warm memories fill my heart with love. I really appreciate your works. Thanks to your poems people understand how to be kind and honest. Also they learn to work hardly, to study and to honour native language and religion. We will remember you not only for 175 years. You will live in our hearts forever!
