un arbre et de la résilience

Ce sera si agréable,

quand je serais bien vieille,

de me retourner, 

et de me dire :

cet obstacle, 

ce drame d'alors, 

je l'ai contourné, 

et j'en ai fait une oeuvre d'art.

It will be such a pleasure, 

to turn back to my past, 

when I'll be an old lady, 

and tell me:

This obstacle,

this moment which was then such a dramatic moment, 

I managed to went around it, 

and turn it into art.
