Children

"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..."

Khalil Gibran

These words were said with total simplicity, and are so, so correct..
For at the end of the day, children like pets, are their very own people...

And as they grow up, they become more so..

While we watch from the sidelines, feeling happy/proud/sad as the scenario may be..

And realize that this truly is one of God's miracles....
