Objet de mon affection,
A jamais dans mon esprit et mon cœur…

There is a beautiful Haiku (short poem) by Kakimoto Tae from 1893 translated in French :
Au ciel s’en vont
Les pétales de cerisiers
D’une seule envolée.

Translated in English by me :
To the sky are going
The petals of cherry trees
By one flight.
