I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children' laughter remind us how we used to be....
That was George Benson and I hummed the tune as I felt low on hearing that Bryan has high fever and has been vomitting. I am on business tour and feel helpless especially because he has his exams. He could not finish his maths paper yesterday and had cried bitterly on the phone. He was unhappy because he felt he'd disappointed me since I'd spent so much time on teaching him math. I reassured him that it did not matter. I hope he recovers and is able to give his exams.

When I look into my child's eyes, the innocence purifies my soul and fills me with hope and peace.
I remember Kahlil Gibran's insight on Children
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.
-Kahlil Gibran
Don't worry.Bryan will get well soon.
