ON CHILDREN

Your children are not your children...
They are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself...
they come through you but not from you...
and though they are with you, they belong not to you...
but rather to Heavenly Father,
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...
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you...
you are the bows from which your children as living arrows are set forth...
Be grateful that Heavenly Father has chosen you as keeper of His children
for there is no bigger calling than be a Parent...
