Interesting writing.

However - and just my personal opinion - I have to say it is not often that I see some poetry writing so much of which I basically, fundamentally disagree!

TP

to each their own TP, but as a parent I find that the words are VERY true... it is not up to me to dictate to my children what they will wish for or create their dreams for them... they are on loan to me as much as I am on loan to my parents... perhaps read the words again and view them in the light of how some parents stifle the growth of their children by subjecting them to their past failures and hopes for themselves.... my children are free to dream whatever they want... and I will support them even if they want to be something say like an artist and I may have reservations because I mistakenly believe they will not be able to survive on an artists wage... thats what the poem says to me... and I love it, all of Kahlil Gibran's book "The Prophet" is fantastic... I wish more people would read his work and ponder the meaning of it.

but hey - we are all entitled to our own opinions....you have yours, I have mine!
