Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of
Lifes longing for itself.
They came 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.
You may strive to be like them
But seek not to make them like you,
For life goes not backward
Nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which
Your children as living arrows
Are sent forth.
Khalil Gibran

For their souls dwell

Which you cannot visit
Not even in your dreams.
