On Children

Your children are not your children; they are the sons and the daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but they are not from you, and though they are with you, they belong not to you.
You can give them your love but not your thoughts; they have their own thoughts.
You can house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in a place of tomorrow which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You can strive to be like them, but you cannot make them just like you.

I'd hear Sweet Honey sing this 20-30 years ago when I was somewhere between Bernice Regan's and Ayisha's age, my daughter was little, and my son was not even born yet. Son and daughter are both older than you now, You do this so amazingly well, so intricate and natural. The song sounds different as time goes on, as the singers get younger.
