今天偶然看到这首纪伯伦的诗，觉得很好，贴出来和大家一起分享
. X6 v7 j7 A+ h# G
On Children
Kahlil Gibran
' N7 Y% ~& x6 l3 }, z" k7 i$ yYour children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
# y$ z9 f% K/ t. u! bThey 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,
9 m# V( P$ o  V, \6 u6 @/ ~4 e4 aFor they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
$ ]' c4 r9 Q) K7 L4 k7 pwhich you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
! V5 m5 K* ?7 T; d. ]+ yYou may strive to be like them,

2 G9 z+ h$ T  L: \3 `! _. tFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
) w! L, S, P1 E: {: k& W5 j( iYou are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.

and He bends you with His might

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

秀色可餐

下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。

# a3 I5 W! m* T, r$ b你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
" R( n; [  t  c3 W& k" k" _他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
) f  [! @6 T, }) w4 V7 R他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
因为他们有自己的思想。
! m% [1 M& v, d! R+ a" m9 k9 J* o你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
% M# t& q9 A3 I- M+ x, V, a你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
' ?! [3 i" l' N2 B却不要让他们变得和你一样，
因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
8 V. W' H  a# o: r$ T+ m弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，
它用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
: [+ i- W  i+ U1 l/ m6 t怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，
因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
