Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself
They come through you but not of you
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
For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday
- An excerpt from "Children" by Kahlil Gibran
