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
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 …
-- Khalil Gibran
