It's Wishing Time

I remember reading this a few years ago with a certain degree of disagreement. just came across this again today and now I’d have say I agree…

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.

By Khalil Gibran

Hmm interesting, this made me realize that most songs I like can’t exactly be described as cheery, so this required much thoughts:

Firework- by Katy Perry 

Stay beautiful- by Taylor Swift

You’re beautiful
Every little piece love, don’t you know
You’re really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don’t, stay beautiful

Suddenly I see- by KT Tunstall

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

2012- by Jay Sean

This song just pretty much sums up my senior year of college and lots of very valuable memories. =)
