Your children are not

your children.

They are the sons and daughters

of Life's longing for itself.

 

They come through you

but not from you,

And though they are with you

yet they belong not to you.

 

You may give them your love

but not your thoughts,

For they have their own

thoughts.

 

You may house their bodies

but not their souls,

For their souls dwell

in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit,

not even in your dreams.

 

You may strive to be like them,

but seek not

to make them like you...

 

- Kahlil Gibran
