Your Children
You may give them your love
You may house their bodies
You may strive to be like them,
By Kahlil Gibran
but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
but not their souls,
for their should dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams.
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
