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 our 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.

Anakmu bukanlah milikmu. Mereka adalah putra-putri kehidupan.

Mereka terlahir melaluimu, tetapi bukan berasal darimu,
karena itu mereka ada bersamamu tapi bukanlah milikmu.

Engkau harus memberi mereka cintamu, tetapi bukan pemikiranmu,
karena mereka punya pemikiran mereka sendiri

Engkau bisa memberikan rumah untuk tubuh mereka, tetapi tidak untuk jiwanya. Karena jiwa mereka akan tinggal di rumah masa depan, yang tidak bisa kau kunjungi, bahkan dalam mimpimu sekalipun.

Engkau boleh mencoba meniru mereka, tapi jangan memaksa mereka menirumu,
karena kehidupan tidak pernah berjalan mundur, tidak pula akan terulang.

Engkau adalah busur panah, yang darinya anak-anakmu akan meluncur ke depan.
Sang Pemanah menarikmu dengan keagungan-Nya agar anak panah bisa melesat jauh menuju keabadian.
