Mon fils,<\/span><\/p>\n

Te voil\u00e0 maintenant<\/span><\/p>\n

L’heureux p\u00e8re d’une petite fille. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sache que cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement<\/span><\/p>\n

A combl\u00e9 de joie ta m\u00e8re et moi.<\/span><\/p>\n

A ce tournant de ta vie<\/span><\/p>\n

Que nos meilleurs voeux t’accompagnent !<\/span><\/p>\n

Que nos b\u00e9n\u00e9dictions pleuvent sur toi et ta famille !<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

N’oublie pas le r\u00f4le<\/span><\/p>\n

Que tu dois jouer comme p\u00e8re de ta fille.<\/span><\/p>\n

On voit d\u00e9j\u00e0 par tes caresses<\/span><\/p>\n

Combien tu ch\u00e9ris cet \u00eatre si fragile,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce petit bout de chou. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tu dois aussi savoir l’\u00e9duquer.<\/span><\/p>\n

As-tu song\u00e9 \u00e0 cela?<\/span><\/p>\n

Te rends-tu compte<\/span><\/p>\n

Que l’avenir de ta fille en d\u00e9pend?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Penses-y d\u00e8s maintenant, mon fils<\/span><\/p>\n

Quand tu y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis,<\/span><\/p>\n

N’oublie pas tout ce que nous t’avons appris<\/span><\/p>\n

Dans la vie ta m\u00e8re et moi.<\/span><\/p>\n

N’oublie pas toutes les vertus,<\/span><\/p>\n

Toutes les qualit\u00e9s,<\/span><\/p>\n

Toutes les valeurs morales<\/span><\/p>\n

Que nous t’avons inculqu\u00e9es.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu as \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9 selon les traditions mill\u00e9naires<\/span><\/p>\n

Bas\u00e9es sur l’enseignement de Confucius, <\/span><\/p>\n

Qui met \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re place<\/span><\/p>\n

L’autorit\u00e9 parentale, la pi\u00e9t\u00e9 filiale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sans ces derni\u00e8res tout s’\u00e9croule autour de soi<\/span><\/p>\n

Un \u00c9tat peut courir \u00e0 sa perte.<\/span><\/p>\n

A toi maintenant de transmettre \u00e0 ta fille<\/span><\/p>\n

Ces valeurs ancestrales.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Gr\u00e2ce au ciel, mon fils,<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu poss\u00e8des certaines de ces qualit\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu es honn\u00eate, loyal et g\u00e9n\u00e9reux.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu as l’ambition de r\u00e9ussir<\/span><\/p>\n

Par tes propres moyens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le travail ne te fait pas peur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeune comme tu es<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu m\u00e8nes une vie sans fla-fla<\/span><\/p>\n

Ni extravagance.<\/span><\/p>\n

D’une extr\u00eame sensibilit\u00e9<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu es totalement d\u00e9pourvu d’affection,<\/span><\/p>\n

D’hypocrisie et de malveillance.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Te voil\u00e0 bien arm\u00e9, mon fils,<\/span><\/p>\n

Pour assumer ton r\u00f4le de p\u00e8re.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce n’est pas facile, il est vrai,<\/span><\/p>\n

D’\u00e9lever un enfant<\/span><\/p>\n

Et de faire son bonheur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mais quelle r\u00e9compense !<\/span><\/p>\n

Quelle safisfaction au bout du compte !<\/span><\/p>\n

Car chaque petit progr\u00e8s que fera ta fille <\/span><\/p>\n

T’apportera une pl\u00e9nitude de joies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
