	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Thanks Aneta for your suggestions. They sound fine. Just: before "forefathers' life" there should be a possessive (my/our) the piece ---> a piece Do you agree, girls?

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	You are right for sure, Lilly. We have no possessive before "forefathers", but I believe that pecularity of English grammar requires it. If so, I stand up for "our"... I put "the" article before "piece" to emphasize it, beacuse it is a main word in that line. But, you are the master and I agree whatever you decide. I'm glad if I could help a bit.
