Thank you, she is a gift from above. 😊
I've Loved this from the moment I stumbled upon it in my youth many moons ago.
Excerpt from,
"The Prophet"
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.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the Archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
This one sounds nice but starts like a globalist dream.... 'Your children are not your own, they belong to society kind of thing'.
Far from a new world order, unfortunately in a time when children were bought and sold as merchandise in open air markets.
Not all parents are good parents.
Children as property is a sticky subject and has been for millennia, poor babies, everybody claims ownership and they just wanta be free.
The terrible twos, the first act of rebellion is absolutely beautiful.
The most destructive in my mind is the states claim on the child under the doctrine of parens patriae, basically, the children belong to the trust of state and parents enjoy them as long as they do what state wants.
I think every writer wants to tweek others work, I've certainly had that desire myself, best we can do is understand time and culture, struggle and scope to begin to understand the mind of the artist. :-)
