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
- N4 @0 R, c+ z
On Children
Kahlil Gibran
7 d' T- v) G& ?! M# D( T, J8 ]& SYour children are not your children.
: V6 a  }+ K$ f! a" F: O0 {3 _5 tThey are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
) W  F) Y: @6 \, ?They come through you but not from you,
  [. {4 A8 O" g7 j( B7 wAnd 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.
0 k' c- S0 n* c5 G& L% z6 D1 f  RYou 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.
1 j/ z9 }; c0 gYou may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
) v9 i8 e1 r. ]& Y7 y! CFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
* z- u$ Y) F+ V/ x; u! M9 o! JYou are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
( H+ G/ Q* B* J" gand He bends you with His might
3 H# E- ?9 ?# g4 W) ithat His arrows may go swift and far.
3 b3 O1 Q2 H3 F% ]5 rLet your 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.

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。

你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
' X5 p, y6 I: A3 o. n. y& S他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
! P+ q, p/ N. l$ N3 [& \他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
7 ~# G4 L# ]% Y2 w+ Y你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
+ V/ @0 Y8 T7 q7 g% d因为他们有自己的思想。
3 K0 S9 y" q, V你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
- W5 S4 o# I9 {因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
: H- w& u6 ?# Q+ n0 S" [2 g% d却不要让他们变得和你一样，

0 [6 C0 x6 x8 u" Q你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
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。
/ ?3 E; C; O! J' n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。
