《致孩子》是黎巴嫩裔美国诗人纪伯伦的一首著名散文诗。诗歌原文如下：
```
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.
```
这首诗表达了纪伯伦对亲子关系的深刻见解，强调了孩子虽然通过父母来到这个世界，但他们的灵魂和命运并不完全属于父母，而是属于他们自己以及未来的某一天。诗中，纪伯伦用生动的比喻和诗意的语言，描绘了父母与子女之间既亲密又独立的关系。
