One day we will be big enough, big enough to realize that we were wrong to be afraid of adults.
One day we will be big, big enough to realize that life always finds its way.
One day we will be big, big enough to realize that we have done the best we can.
One day we will be grown, old enough to realize that childhood has never left us and that every explosion of joy or sorrow has brought us closer to this natural state.
One day we will be big enough, big enough to prevent others from making the same mistakes as us.
One day we will be big, big enough to be at peace when things don’t work out the way we would have liked.
One day, we will be big enough, big enough not to beg for love, big enough to heal our wounds, big enough to not think about the future!
One day we will be big, big enough to achieve our finitude, big enough to welcome love before death, big enough to love births before cemeteries.
One day, we will be big enough, big enough to understand our own differences, big enough to cross the real without censorship of the imaginary.
One day, we will be big enough, big enough to assume our convictions, big enough to admire the people singing and dancing in the rain!
One day we will be big, big enough to welcome our doubts and our griefs, big enough to live with our imperfections, big enough to let us love like this.
One day we will be big, big enough to be happy with or without, big enough to say that we have lived well, big enough to leave our yesterday self behind and embrace the present self that becomes another us tomorrow!
One day, we will be great, naturally or by a boost of fate!
One day we will be big, big enough to realize that the world is what it is! A field to explore, a living space, a much better space in the presence of the other, very unhappy without him, always beautiful in the presence of love!
