Milo

Everyone was waiting for you
The wind sang dancing
The waves rose from their chairs
The snails were waiting for you on the shore
They were also waiting for you in the sand
From the tiniest animals to the whales

The stars were visible in broad daylight
Because they were waiting to keep you company
And you were born, quickly and slowly
Breathing like an astronaut in space
You spoke another language
Because you came from a planet without people
And you woke up even the plants
When the jungle roared from your throat
And even if you didn't understand everything you felt
Without having to open your eyes, you discovered us

Little bag of milk
Bread dough
Pinch of flour
Cheeks like flan
Cotton fingers on hands and feet
Holy water that smells like a baby

You laugh and the world feels important
And all the elves become giants
With you, every day is a celebration
And you make music play without an orchestra

You like the wind blowing on your face
Eating with your hands without using a spoon
Touching the flowers that bloom in April
And talking to the trains on the railroad

On your own axis and without a shirt
You like to spin like the planets
Turning into a car and also into a rocket
Playing all the time even without toys

Walking on the grass without shoes
You are a friend of simple things
That's why you hug me and thaw me out
And make me feel like a flying balloon

Now I know why I write
Even if I never know the day or the hour I live
When you speak, my absent-mindedness listens to you
You came to teach me how to learn

It's never too late for anything
The morning is waiting
If you missed the train, you can arrive on foot
Opportunities are there
But they are like the waves
They come and go

And even if we are of different colors
We all eat with our mouths
And chew with our teeth
We must be good people and grateful
And protect the tree so the nest doesn't fall
And hopefully nothing hurts you
But if it hurts, may it serve as a lesson
And hopefully you fall in love many times
Because with a kiss, the bad disappears

You don't have to cry
The rain will stop
I went out to work
But I will come back
And I will build you a bamboo castle
What I never had, I want you to have
