oh and I notice that you've also got Anne of Green Gables in your catalog; Did you like it? I read that book during 4th grade; actually that is one of the first books that I've read since I moved to America

Excerpt from The Prophet
by Kahlil Gibran

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said,
Speak to us of Children. And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the son’s and daughter’s 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 set 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 your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
