Million Dollar Sunday Tournament every Sunday

- Care for a coffee?
- No thanks.

Take a seat, please.

Or you might want tea.

I'm in a hurry.
My train's in an hour.

Sure.

What I've got to tell you
is not easy.

You knew the search
would be difficult.

I'm prepared for anything.

We found a woman.

But we can't reveal the secret.

She doesn't want to? Right?

She denies it.

She denies being your mother.

What do you mean?
Is it her or not?

Only she could confirm
if it is her or not.

What did she say? Exactly.

That we're mistaken...

that she's never had a child.

How did you find her?

You know I can't tell you that.

What am I supposed to do?

We'll have to suspend your request.

Tell her she has nothing to worry.
I just want to know.

Let me talk to her.
If she hears me, she'll understand.

I can't insist.

She gave birth anonymously.

She's protected by the law.

The Strongest Love Of All

Dunkirk, 6 months later

Annette!

- Betty's here.
- What's wrong with her?

Nothing. She vomited again.
I'd rather she stays with me.

Hurry up. I'm waiting for you.

Wait on. OK.
There. I'm coming.

OK. All's well.

Coming?

It's OK.

There.

Move off.

There.

I made some soup, too.
It won't be too much?

- That's fine.
- I'll serve you.

I'm hungry.

I don't know
what's wrong with this Betty.

If it goes on,
she'll have to see the vet.

It's not normal.

Could it be the remnants
from the canteen?

I told you to be careful.

Not only for the animals.

They'll say you're helping yourself
in the bins...

I don't do that.
They give it to me.

That's just it. Watch out.

What people give is never for free.

Don't worry. I'll go.

Stay here. I'll go.
You've been running all day.

- Hi, mum.
- Hi, my love.

I called you.

- Where's my cap?
- In the machine.

Sorry, I was a bit in a rush.

Mummy, you're a pain!
It's all wet.

- What's wrong?
- I'm not going to school!

- Hi, Chlo�.
- Hi.

- OK?
- Fine. And you?

No�, come on.

His things are there.
His bag's not ready.

No�.

- Come out, please.
- I don't want to go.

You can have your cap tomorrow.

- Need help?
- He's sulking.

I'm off. I'm going to be late.

He'll eventually come out.

See you this evening, No�.

Stop pushing him.

Move on, over there.

Did you hear me?

Sofiane! No.

I didn't do anything.

Slowly.

One fruit, children.
One fruit and one dairy.

Come on, move up.

- Fish with what?
- Sausage and potato mash.

You won't fool me anymore.

Annette, what's the menu?

With or without pork?

I don't know.
I've not yet got his form.

- What does he want?
- A sausage.

It's OK. I prefer fish.

Never mind. Give the fish,
we'll check tomorrow.

Child abandonment certificate

The maternity's been transferred.
It's been a while.

I heard that you had archives.

I don't know.

I'm in charge of family planning.

What are you searching for exactly?

I'd like to find my mother.

She surely left a name, a number.
It must be here.

I don't know how...

Listen, it's over 30 years now.

I have the right to know.

There's a place that investigates.

I can give you their number.

The name, here, "Desmaret".

It was the mid-wife.

Do you know her?

I'm really sorry.

I can't help you.

I'm really sorry.

Again.

Breathe out.

Hello. I've come to see �lisa.

Right here.

Bye.

Do you still need me?

- No thanks. See you tomorrow.
- See you.

OK, No�? Had a nice day?

You forgot to give the paper
for the canteen.

No, I sent it by email.

Didn't they get it?

You have to do it again
and ask for food without pork.

Why? Did anyone say anything?

It's easier, that's all.

It doesn't make sense, No�.

If at all, I'll call the directress.

What will I look like?
It's too bad.

OK, come on.

Fabio prepared
some eats and drinks.

- Welcome.
- Thanks.

No�! Please go and play outside.

No�, please!

Thanks.

Yes, hello? Is that Mrs Desmaret?

I'm searching for a mid-wife
who worked at the maternity of...

Sorry.

Bye.

Hi, Daddy.

OK, big boy?

You're well settled?

Wait a second.

So, tell me. How's Dunkirk?

Wait, I'm going to my room.

When are you coming?

I don't know yet.
I hope to come soon.

- Met new friends?
- No. I want to come back to Paris.

- Mum's there?
- Yes.

Put her on?

There, Daddy wants to talk to you.

OK?

Got my message?

I wasn't listening. Say again?

Are you coming back this weekend?

We've got some plans here.

Can you come closer?
I can't hear you well.

No� said he wanted to come back.

Why are you calling?

To chat about
what we'll do about him.

He needs to see me too.

- Why didn't he tell me?
- He's shy.

You can come and get him.

Pressure bubble gun! No stains!

Hurry, ladies and gentlemen,
they'll soon be gone!

Go on bubbles!

Come here.
Be careful, close your bag.

Come on, ladies and gentlemen!

Hello there.

Hello, Ren�e.
Hello, Annette. You alright?

- OK, Ren�e?
- And you?

Ah, what beautiful beauties
they are...

Saw that, Gr�goire?
That's no toy for poofters.

There, take it.

It won't eat you. Go ahead.

Come on.

Annette, want to see?

Saw? It doesn't bite.

Leave my sister alone, will you?

Anyways, I'm off.

Beno�t, if you change minds,
my offer still stands.

OK. Have a nice weekend everybody.

So, made up your minds
about the names?

Yes. We like Lucie,

and Beno�t wants Agn�s
as the 2nd name.

It will make his gran happy.

We were also thinking of Anne.

- Anne like Annette.
- No way. Anne is not Annette.

That makes two names with an "A".

It's not a problem.

What do you say, Annette?

I don't know. You're the parents.

- You certainly have an opinion.
- OK, honey?

You're beautiful.

Thanks, Roger.

So, Beno�t, did you hear Martel?

You can still say yes.

What is it you don't like
about this job?

It's not my qualifications.

You don't need any.
Besides stock taking...

I don't want him to go.

I want him to finish his thesis.

- He can still do it.
- Yes, it does.

Then why have a 3rd child so fast?

Roger, you're such a pain.

What the hell, dad!

We can't say a thing.

Why do you tell him
such things?

- Yes, hello.
- Mummy, someone's there!

Hello.

- Hello.
- Yes, what's the matter?

I was placed here when I was born.

In the early 80s.

And I was adopted.
I need some information.

Can I come in?

No, I'm sorry. We're closed.

I've come from far. I'll be quick.

I can't let you in
without an appointment.

I'm with my son.
I would have liked to show him.

Madam, you need an authorisation.

This place is under protection.

Call on Monday,
the directress will be in.

I really have to go.
Have a good day.

Come on, mum, let's go.

- Let's race?
- You want to?

Come on, No�.

Yes, mum.

- You've got a moment to talk?
- Yes. What's wrong?

Don't you want us
to come a few days?

We'll see.

I feel like being
a little on my own with No�.

I understand your need to go there.
But why did you have to shift?

It's just for a few months.

I feel good here.

- What about you and Alex?
- I don't know.

You're made for each other.

It's worth holding onto.

What about you? Water?

Hey, how about giving him a falafel?

You want it? There.
It's for you.

No sausages today?

Enough.

Leave him alone.

He's got a hit with the Pit Bull.

Hey, Madam, please,
my oranges.

What's up, Sofiane?

- Pick them up.
- It's not me.

Stop talking.
Everyone pick them up.

You're laughing?

OK, come on.

Don't move!

Don't move.

Let go of them!
Let go of them, Annette!

What are you doing here?

Saw the time?

What's that?

Dirtied your bed?

Betty, come on.

Breathe out.

Bye, Mr Sergurar.

- Thank you. Bye.
- You're welcome.

Mrs Lef�vre?

- Coming?
- Hello.

- Are you Mrs Lef�vre?
- Sorry. I am.

- From my son's school?
- Yes, that's how I got your number.

- I saw you're a physiotherapist.
- Go ahead. Come in.

Take a seat.

I'm afraid
I won't be able to work tomorrow.

I've already missed a day.

They need me, at school.

What happened to you?

It's silly.

I take care of dogs, in a refuge.

Every Wednesday,
we walk them, you see,

but the cages...

They go mad going around in circles.

So, I was there, on the dune.

- They pulled, I fell.
- It happened there?

No. When I got up this morning.

I don't really know.
I didn't hear the alarm.

Alright.

- Your first name?
- Annette.

- Date of birth ?
- 6 March 1960.

What do you do at school, exactly?

Well, I work in the canteen,
I do the cleaning too.

That's not good for the back.

You can undress.
In the corner there.

- What do I remove?
- Leave your underwear on.

Your son is handsome,
with his pretty eyes and long lashes.

Don't tell him that.
He's already got a complex.

You're ready? Coming?

Turn around.

Lie on your stomach.

Have any pain in your legs?

A little, at the end of the day.

Because of my crooked leg.

- Was it an accident?
- No.

A tumour.

I was 12.
They had to graft a bone.

Stretch your arms.
Along your body.

- You're a right-hander?
- Yes.

That's where it's pulling.

OK, breathe out.

It must be a muscle pull.
Nothing serious.

Turn on your back.

Tuck in early tonight.
You can go to work tomorrow.

Come closer
to the edge of the table.

Relax.

How long have you had
this bleeding?

Just once.

The gestation sac
is correctly in the uterus.

There's the embryo.

The foetus is active.

Everything seems normal.

It might have been
a slight detachment.

Have you chosen the maternity?

I'm not sure I want to keep it.

You should have told me earlier.
You're over 12 weeks.

Is it the first time
you're pregnant?

No, I've got a boy of 10.

How were things for him?

I don't know.

It was just... obvious.

His father was there. I loved him.

Maybe he was more keen than me.

- And now?
- We're in the process of separating.

He knows about you being pregnant?

Papa!

Slowly.

It's not the time to sleep.

How did you come here?
Did you run away?

No. Mummy wanted to
give you a surprise.

- Shall we have them outside?
- As you like.

Alex, I need to talk to you.

I take the plates?

Thanks, No�.

- Come, we'll talk later.
- No, come on. Tell me.

Your mum.

Yes. Hello, Suzanne.

Yes, they're here.

No, in Paris.
They came in a while ago.

Maybe she cut off her mobile.
I'll put her on?

Tell her I'll call back.

She wants to know our plans
for the holidays.

I said I'll call her back.

Suzanne?

OK, thanks.

- What are you up to?
- I don't like it.

Stop it.
You just have it all together.

- It's disgusting.
- Stop it.

It's OK. Leave him.

- Want some water?
- Yes.

What's going on with No�?

I don't know how to deal with him.

Why rub him up the wrong way?

It's normal he provokes you.

He's mad at me.

Why?

How are things in Dunkirk?

If there's no result, forget it.

Don't get No� mixed up in this.
He won't understand.

That's not the problem.

What's it then?

I really want you to stay.

I'm not forcing you.

Do as it pleases you.

Hurry! Annette's there. Hurry up.

Don't worry, No�.
They played a bad joke on you.

OK? You're not hurt?

Wait on! Don't be afraid!

Be careful, there's the Pit Bull!

Annette, I'm off. You'll be OK?

Yes, I'm almost done.

You know, with kids like Sofiane,
you must get them to respect you.

Thanks. I know what to do.

OK. I'll leave you to close up.
See you.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure. Tell me.

Do you ever...

What you do is quite peculiar.

What do you mean?

Well, touching people, like this.

Isn't it sometimes a bit disgusting?

I hope I'm not shocking you.

No. But why say that?

Do you feel uneasy?
Turn around.

No, I'm sorry.

Just an idea
that passed through my mind.

- You put talcum powder?
- Yes. Always, since I was young.

- Am I hurting you
- No.

It's just that, my bladder...

I sometimes...

How often does it happen?

Not often. On and off.

How does it happen?

When you laugh? When you cough?

I don't really know.

It must be the perineum.
Did you have children?

No.

But I live with my mother.

Well, we live in the same building.

I can suggest an exercise.

If not there's always physiotherapy.

What must I do?

Pretend you really want to pee.

Try to keep up
by tightening very hard,

By doing that
makes your perineum work.

No, that's your abs.

It's over here that should work.

Imagine
your pelvis is like a box.

The perineum is right into that box.

OK, tighten.

Only you can feel it.

Hello. I'm Mrs Desmaret.

I indeed was a mid-wife
at the maternity of Pont-Neuf.

You can call me back...

"Young white woman, timid.

"Can't take care of the child
on her own."

"Timid", they were all like that,
you know.

"Did not mention the father.
Doesn't want to talk."

The social assistants were usually
in charge of such cases,

but I do recognise my writing.

Does it ring a bell?

It's so long ago.

"Timid."

"Did not mention the father."

Could she have mentioned a rape?

And the names?
Do you think my mother chose them?

"�lisabeth, Ir�ne, Catherine".

What's your name?

�lisa. My parents
wanted to keep a trace.

Maybe I look like her.

- Have something to drink?
- We won't be long.

I won't let you go like that.
Take a seat. I'll be right back.

No� could finish his cartoon.

You know what? I've got a patient
who works in your school.

Mrs Lef�vre, Annette.
You know her?

Yes, the Pit Bull.

Why that nickname?
She seems sweet.

That's what's funny.
She's not frightful at all.

I see.

That's mean. What if you were called
Little Poodle?

- My Little Poodle.
- I'm not a poodle.

Saw the lads?
They look like brothers.

What's your husband?
Algerian? Moroccan?

He's from a godforsaken village
in Champagne.

Sorry, that was clumsy of me.

I'll be right back.
My father needs me.

Breathe out.

Breathe out. Chase out the air.

Again, again...

Have you already tasted this?

It's called the finger of Jean Bart.

- No� likes chocolate?
- Yes, so do I.

Thank you.

It's a local speciality.

It's from the pastry shop
on the square, near the theatre.

By the market place.

Just near the restaurant Chez Ren�e.

It's my brother's.

The family meets there on Sundays.

Wait on. I'll show you something.

I can't imagine
I was as slim as you...

- See there?
- What?

I've been like that for a while, now.

Lie on your back.

I must send my niece to you.

It will do her really good.

What's wrong with her?

She's just had a baby.

By the way, I need to get her a gift.

I'd like to offer her something
she could keep.

I do have an idea,
but I don't know if it's right.

Would you accept money, as a gift?

Yes. Why not?

It depends who gives it.

In my family, we have a principle:

money is not a gift,
it's something that you earn.

And you want to gift it
to your niece?

She really needs it.

She's just got her third child.
Her husband's jobless.

- I've got a savings account.
- What's the problem?

Her father won't agree.

Must you tell him?

It's between you and your niece.

When do I see you again?

Wednesday, late in the afternoon.
Is it OK?

Yes. So on the 4th June, 6:30 pm.

I've written it down.

He's really a nice boy.

- Does he play up in the canteen?
- No.

Can see you've brought him up well.

I'm not so sure.

They're not all like him.

We wonder how some
managed to enrol in the school.

It's true that he's different.

But, it's not my business.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Kids, don't climb on the dune!

Get down!

The claws are mainly
for glass stuff.

Come on, continue to search.

Come on, mates. Look.

Come on.

Come and see!

Hey! They're going before us!

See what I found! A johnny!

- What are you up to?
- The Pit Bull!

What's that? Come down!

- They're a bad influence on you.
- Let go of me!

- Your mother'd get upset.
- I don't care about her!

Stay here! If you go on like this,
we're stopping!

Look how you're breaking the things.

- It's Mrs Annette who provoked.
- Sofiane, quiet.

- It's true!
- Keep quiet, you rascal!

Racist!

You OK?

I've got something to tell you.

No� didn't say anything?

You're scaring me.
It sounds serious.

It's my fault.
Everything was going fine with No�,

before that fellow got a hold on him.

What's it about?

Some of the kids
shouldn't be in this school.

One especially: Sofiane.

He's acting tough.

He's got a bad influence on your son.

- What did No� do?
- Nothing.

But you must protect him,
tell him he's not like Sofiane.

- Maybe he thinks that...
- What could he be thinking?

I mean...

I was wondering
if No� was your own son...

Pardon?

No. That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry.

- Is No� telling that crap?
- Not at all. It's me.

I just thought that...

he might have been adopted.

This is going too far.

- I didn't mean wrong.
- Please.

Nobody else knows.

You're wrong.
He's not been adopted, I was.

Leave my son alone.

Let's start the massage.
Get ready.

I signed a paper
with the first names?

For the little one.

That's how they found me?

How could I know?

I'm not the one who was there.

Why would you have signed?
It makes no sense.

You've got nothing to fear.
They can't do anything.

You did what you had to.

You went shopping?

- I was searching for you.
- I managed on my own.

- Need anything?
- I must walk the dogs.

Annette. Wait on.

I don't know what you're up to,
but I don't like it.

- You're hiding something from me.
- Of course not.

You intend calling her back?
Think twice.

You want everyone to know?
At school? At the restaurant?

She's my daughter.

No. She's the daughter of that Arab.

She might not like what you have
to tell her. Think about it.

I'm thirsty.

Yes, hello.

Chlo�, you OK?
How did it go today?

Thanks.

Pass me No�?

You OK, sweetie?

No, I just wanted to know
if all was OK.

I'll be back in an hour.

Will you wait for me for dinner?

We were compelled
to suspend her request.

I don't know
how she's going to react now.

You understand?

What did you tell her exactly?

- She knows who I am?
- Of course not.

You didn't want us to say.

I'd like to know who she is.

I first need you to write a letter.

- What must I write?
- What you told me.

That you gave birth
to a girl called �lisabeth.

Indicate the date and place,

and this letter
will help unseal the secret.

I'd just like to know who she is.

I'm sorry, I have to ask her
if she agrees,

and I need your letter.

I'd like to ask you...

Could you do again
what you did the first time?

You took me in your arms
and you cradled me.

Please.

Sorry.

We'll stop here for today.

Thank you.

When's the next appointment?

- What would you like?
- Same day, same time.

In two weeks, then.

- Have a good evening.
- Goodbye to you.

"I'm Annette Lef�vre.

"Born on 6 March 1960.

"On 17 November 1981,

"I gave birth to a little girl,

"at Dunkirk hospital.

"I called her �lisabeth.

"After the saint
on whose day she was born."

What proof do you have
that it is her?

What do you mean?

I don't know. Aren't there papers
or documents that show it?

She is the right person.
The proof is here, in this letter.

She doesn't say anything.
She gives no explanation.

It's up to you to ask her.

What makes you doubt?

It's not what I was looking for.

I understand it's a chock.

But you're not obliged
to do anything.

However, if you want us
to set up a meeting...

She can't be my mother.

Want to drink something, �lisa?

- Why don't you stay longer?
- No.

- Listen...
- Tell me.

- I'll let him sleep here tonight.
- No problem.

I'll bring him back.

�lisa, fly into my arms

�lisa, �lisa

�lisa, tear my hair out

Jab your nails deep

And your delicate fingers too

In the jungle

Of my hair, Lisa

�lisa, �lisa

�lisa, fly into my arms

�lisa, �lisa

�lisa, tear my hair out

Curl them out

With a centre parting

13 or 14 years are between us

�lisa, �lisa

�lisa, let's ignore the others

�lisa, �lisa

�lisa just you, me, us

Hello.

I'm sorry to disturb you.
Is �lisa in?

Yes, sure. But she's sleeping.

Oh, right.

No� insisted
to come back earlier.

Here's his coat. I'll call her later.

- OK. Goodbye.
- Bye.

What are you doing?

Stay. I'm making coffee.

I'd better be off.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

No�, coming?

No�, come on.

Come and have breakfast.

Why don't you answer?

You intend sulking all day long?

OK. I'll wait for you to talk to me.

- I'm going to shower.
- You're right. You're stinking.

What? What did you say?

Say that again.

- I'm talking to you.
- Let go of me, you bitch!

You hurt me.

Show me.

Show me where I hurt you.

Go away. Leave me alone.

Go away!

Go away, I said!

Have you seen a little boy?

- Have you seen a little boy?
- Not at all.

Karima, did No� call you?

If he comes to your place,
please call me.

I'll leave you.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

- You lost it, it wasn't stolen?
- I lost it.

- I write the place where I lost it?
- If possible.

Hello. Please come with me.

Please enter.

Why can't I see him?

I just need to check
a couple of things with you.

Tell me,
what happened this morning?

- A child doesn't run away like that.
- He didn't.

He doesn't want to go back.

We had a tiff.
Things were a bit tense.

I slapped him.

That's all? Are you sure?

He's got a black eye,
his eye's half closed.

He said he banged into a door.

Someone will come for your statement.

By the way, we tried for his father.
Any idea where he is?

I haven't got a clue.

Hello?

I'm the colleague of �lisa B�rard.
Are you Mrs Lef�vre?

Speaking.

I have to cancel your appointment.
�lisa can't work.

- When will she resume?
- No idea.

I don't have more information.

I'll call you back
as soon as I get news. Alright?

OK. I'll wait.

Thank you. Bye.

Come on, kids. Move on.

One fruit and one dairy.

- Why isn't No� here?
- I don't know.

Yes?

Hello. Is this Mrs B�rard's place?

Yes, but she's not here.
And you are?

Sorry.
I didn't want to bother you.

Wait. What's the matter?

I wanted to know how she was.
I'm her patient.

I don't know where she is.

We can't reach her.

Since when?

Saturday.
Do you know where she could be?

Me?

Please come in.

Sorry. I have to go.

Sorry. Excuse-me.

Is it you, mum?

Where were you?

Sleep.

I told your colleague
"family reasons",

but didn't say more.

He still asked me how long.

I said you'd let us know.

There's that woman, too, who came.

One of your patients.

She kept calling after that.

What did you tell her?

You might want
to talk about it later.

All I can say
is that she was concerned.

What does it have to do with her?

She seemed sincere.

It's too late.

I'm sorry, we'll be closing.

Can I just have a coffee?

A coffee. I can't say no.

- With a cognac, please.
- With pleasure.

- Are you Annette's brother?
- You know my sister?

She's my patient.
I'm a physiotherapist.

She told me about your restaurant.

You saw? She's over there.

Don't disturb her.
It's your family gathering.

Excuse-me.

OK, sweeties, safe return.

Thanks for everything.

- Bye, Roger. Thanks.
- Don't mention it.

See you next Sunday.

You wanted to see me?

Tomorrow.

- Why not now?
- It's not the right moment.

We can see each other tomorrow.

Hello.

Hello, madam.

I guess you're Annette's mum?

And you must be her niece, right?

You look a bit like her.

Sorry, but... do I know you?

Don't you want to introduce me?

What's the matter?

What do you want?

Go on, children.

Go on.

No, I'm leaving.
I don't want to spoil your Sunday.

OK, Annette.

It's too late to cry.

Go away, now.

You can't simply write
to say you're my mother.

- Don't talk to her like that.
- I'll talk as I like.

- She's my mother.
- No.

You mean nothing to us.

Mummy.

Can I know what's happening?

You OK?

We did all we could
so it goes off well.

She could have aborted.
But we don't do such things.

She wouldn't have this life
if it were otherwise.

I can't complain.

What could have been different?

The main one is obviously not here.

For sure he enjoyed it.

He well and truly used her.

He got what he wanted
and disappeared.

- He behaved well with me.
- He knew how to go about it.

What was his name?

- You don't remember?
- We called him Momo.

It was Mohand.

Wasn't it Mohamed actually?

I said Mohand.

- You knew him?
- He worked at the building site.

Were you together?

Not really.
We used to see each other.

I can't understand.

He knew about me?

He didn't give a toss.

He had no business flirting with her.

He had a wife and kids back home.

And she was so naive...

I knew he had a family.
He'd told me.

He was a good man.

That guy was fooling you, Annette.

It didn't worry him.
Remember how we'd call him?

The Machine gun.
He targeted at everything.

- You don't need details.
- Shut up!

Keep quiet, now.

I know what I'm saying.
It's my story.

It's my business.

Why didn't you keep me?

What must I call her then?

As you like.
"Annette" is OK, huh?

I'm telling you, mum,
don't tell anyone at school.

Dinner's ready. Coming?

Mind eating without me?
I have to walk the dogs.

I can wait for you.

No, it's OK.

See you tomorrow.

As you like.

The first one I got
was a Pyrenean mountain dog. Rocky.

He's got arthrosis.

The black one with white paws
is Sammy.

He's a bit crazy .

And the last one is my little Betty.

I don't know if I'll resume work yet.

Are you going back?

Yes.

At some time or another.

You're going to tell your parents?

About me.

You don't want me to?

They know I wasn't born in a rose.

Do you have brothers and sisters?

No. My parents couldn't get children.

And you?

What about me?

Were there other men?

Yes.

But they didn't really interest me.

There, for you.

Down! Slowly.

He looks like him.

He's got his eyes.

"One fine Spring day,
you will be 16,

"and maybe you'd be tempted
to open this book.

"I enjoy to think the title
will be carried by the wind

"brushing through the hawthorns.

"My tiny little one,

"you are but 8 months,
yet always smiling.

"You are made of
both coral and pearl.

"You will learn that your presence
has nothing to do with chance,

"that it happened when it had to,

"not too early, not too late,

"and no shadow was cast
upon your willow cradle.

"I had long thought
the worse folly was to give life.

"I was upset with those
who had given it to me.

"At times,
you might be upset with me,

"that is why
I chose to look at you at 16,

"when you can't be upset with me.

"Looking at you?
No, trying to see through your eyes,

"trying to look at myself
through you.

"All your dreams, all your hopes,

"all your illusions
will hopefully dance,

"night and day,
in the light of your curls.

"And I probably
won't be here anymore,

"I who only wished to be there
just to see you.

"Whatever might be your fortune,
good or bad,

"how could I know?

"You will enjoy living
expecting the fullest love

"You will enjoy living
expecting the fullest love."
