今天偶然看到这首纪伯伦的诗，觉得很好，贴出来和大家一起分享

On Children
# k4 o) D6 ]2 y, x Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
; E) h$ g9 d/ W# `& O$ Z/ fThey come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
  U* }, i; X8 Q% w4 ]8 L  HYou may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
* ?- \* h$ d  n0 |$ O# o1 KYou 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.
, ~2 k5 b$ C6 n% vYou may strive to be like them,
) W1 N* e4 R7 Y8 Ybut seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
" @% d$ S1 k4 v% \, T% m+ C, aYou are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
; F* m+ a' {. Iand He bends you with His might
- {* A$ }' Z# Ethat His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
/ k4 ]8 N/ Z8 m2 k+ k( L( eso He loves also the bow that is stable.

下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。
