• 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.

• God made the world with a heart full of love,
  Then He looked down from Heaven above,
  And saw that we all need a helping hand,
  Someone to share with, who'll understand.
  He made special people to see us through
  The glad times and the sad times, too;
  A person on whom we can always depend,
  Someone we can call a friend.
  God made friends so we'll carry a part
  Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

  I would toss them into the sea,

  A friend that is always there.
