Children and Families
“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.”
—Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet
