The 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, and 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(Poet and Philosopher)

To live like a tree, lonely and free

To live as brothers like trees in a forest,

That dream is ours!

And we make our call to the world with his great poem;

Let's give the world to the children just for one day

like a balloon in bright and striking colours to play with

let them play singing among the stars

let's give the world to the children

like a huge apple like a warm loaf of bread

at least for one day let them have enough

let's give the world to the children

at least for one day let the world learn friendship

children will get the world from our hands

they'll plant immortal trees
