On Children
( ~9 Q1 w$ ]* z6 c0 S9 X% Z Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.

They come through you but not from you,

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
  g3 Q2 ?4 V6 G# D9 bFor they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
7 _1 K3 D2 x5 b0 f8 ^0 JFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

You may strive to be like them,

You are the bows from which your children

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
