Food for Thought:


"On Children"

Your Children and not YOUR children
They are the son's and daughters of life long before its up
They come through you, but they are not from you
And though they are with you, they belong not to you
You can give them your love but not your thoughts
They have their own thought
They have their own thoughts
You can house their bodies but not their souls
For their souls dwell in a place of tomorrow
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You can strive to be like them
But you cannot make them just like you
Strive to be like them
But you cannot make them just like you...
