I built moments of joy in new events

Giving priority to what is to love

I understand that we must live together.

Living together

From the day I discovered the existence

Of something foreign in the body

Time has taken on a new consistency

And the mind has entered a torpid state.

 After a short while, a full burst of energy

That forced me to react

All the positivity was necessary

I could not allow myself to die

In the gaze, the eyes were smiling

In an exemplary calm and patience

I changed position, thinking about living

I built moments of joy in new events

Giving priority to what is to love

I understand that we must live together.

***

In you, time

In the depths of your thoughts

You were already drawing the project of a new life

Time has passed even if it seems like yesterday

For your first lily you were leafing through a daisy.

 Both parents then you were proud

Every day infinite care and attention

Safe guidance opening up new paths

In unparalleled respect growth.

 In you mommy time is present

Nothing passes of your teachings

That preciously accompany me

 I will never make you feel that you are absent

I name you and understand that the choices guide

All the details experienced that do not pass.
