Extrait
Tu es mon plus beau Noël,
Celui que je n'ai jamais eu;
Tu es l'amour, la vie, et le soleil,
Ce à quoi je ne croyais plus.
Tu es mon plus beau Noël,
Celui que je n'attendais pas,
Ce merveilleux cadeau tombé du ciel,
Celui dont rêvent tous les papas.
Il y a tellement de choses
Que j'aimerais te raconter
Pour te donner la force,
Le courage de tout affronter.
Si je peux te transmettre
Ce formidable goût d'aimer,
De tous les hommes je serai
Le plus heureux,
Le plus comblé.

I found this as a mark of the season and of the passing of a man whose name I have known since before my first encounter with France, but whose work I never really explored.

Superlative form
Celui
Ce que
Mixture of tenses
Mixture of pronouns
The rhymes also have some interest.
