L’incontro (Introduction poem recited by Bono)

While like a giant, proud and happy
I take my baby in my arms, fragile, innocent, and alive
And like a little bird he’s pushing against my chest
Abandoned, quiet and safe, for an instant, almost sweetly
My destiny appears to me like a dream

And I see myself, old and surrendered
Seated there near the coalfire
Waiting for the evening with the anxiety of a child
Just to see him coming back home
With the gift of his smile, of his words and kindness
It’s like a promise that can solve the enormous joy
Of one of his caresses

Then I wake up and I have already forgotten
But inside of me the kid’s trapped soul advises me
That this newborn child is already more important to me
Than that of my own life….
