This beautifuly written verses by Kahil Gibran in 1920,still touches my heart when I read them...
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 soul dwell in the house of tomorrow.
Which you cannot visit,not even in your dreams
For may strive to be like them,but seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
