poem anyone?



I got this poem from the blackboard a week ago .. so naturally I don't know the author. So to the author-- wherever you are, whoever you are… here's your poem right here in my siteeeee!!!! Guess that's enough permission…

Your children are not your children
They are sons and daughters of life's longing for itself…
They come through but not from you
And though they are with you they belong not to you.

Love another, but make not a bond of love…
Let it rather be a moving seas between the shores of your soul..

What through the radiance which once so bright
Be now forever taken from my sight..
Though nothing can bring back the hour of the splendor or the gross
Or glory in the flower
We will grieve not but rather find strength in what remains behind.
