This quote was provide by Mum Nati a few years ago... She was reading "When Your Kids Push Your Buttons And What You Can Do About It" by Bonnie Harris... & the following is an excerpt used in there...
Haven't read the book but the quote... I like it!
***************************************
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. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
