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.
This poem is a gentle reminder to parents that their children are independent beings with their own paths to follow. While parents play a crucial role in nurturing and guiding them, they must not impose their own desires or expectations. Children represent the future, a world parents cannot control or fully understand. Gibran’s message is to love and support without attachment, recognizing the individuality and freedom of each child.
