DCH,
Thank you very much for sharing your fabulous poetry recitation with us. I prefer the second one. I made it into a post for you.
Chinese Lunar New Year is around the corner. Happy Spring Festival to you.

DCH Poem Reciting: On Children by Kahlil Gibran
Oil Paintings By Vladimir Volegov
（Please click the Chinese translation）
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.
