…”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 souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams…”

— Khalil Gibran (‘The Prophet’ 1923)

“…you shall above all things be glad and young

For if you’re glad and young,

whatever life you wear it will become you;

and if you are glad whatever’s living

will yourself become…”

— e.e. cummings
