• Your children are not your children
  They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself
  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 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
  - 'On Children' : performed by Sweet Honey in the Rock
  Lyrics: Kahlil Gibran, Music: Ysaye M. Barnwell
