Chinese Mistakes Wouldn’t be Forever Wrong？ 

Les enfants

Et une femme qui tenait un bébé contre son sein dit, Parlez-nous des Enfants.
Et il dit :
Vos enfants ne sont pas vos enfants.
Ils sont les fils et les filles de l'appel de la Vie à la Vie.
Ils viennent à travers vous mais non de vous.
Et bien qu'ils soient avec vous, ils ne sont pas à vous.
Vous pouvez leur donner votre amour, mais pas vos pensées.
Car ils ont leurs propres pensées.
Vous pouvez héberger leurs corps, mais pas leurs âmes.
Car leurs âmes résident dans la maison de demain que vous ne pouvez visiter, pas même dans vos rêves.
Vous pouvez vous efforcer d'être comme eux, mais ne cherchez pas à les faire à votre image.
Car la vie ne marche pas à reculons, ni ne s'attarde avec hier.
Vous êtes les arcs desquels vos enfants sont propulsés, tels des flèches vivantes.
L'Archer vise la cible sur le chemin de l'Infini, et Il vous tend de Sa puissance afin que Ses flèches volent vite et loin.
Que la tension que vous donnez par la main de l'Archer vise la joie.
Car de même qu'Il aime la flèche qui vole, Il aime également l'arc qui est stable.
