After What Happened Poem by Sari Mavi

I reflect on a few verses Gibran
'Children born through their parents, but
Not their parents who give children life,
God who gave '

Children only God entrusted to their parents
Although parents have to care for and raise their children, but
Children are not the right of parents to control them

O parents
On behalf of affection to your children
You work day and night; pursue worldly
While attention to them you ignore
So pathetic

Negligence you do
It's despicable to God
Did you both have held an agreement with the owner of Life that
'Your children are not yours,
They are the sons and daughters of Life'

O parents
Whatever happens on your children have
A decree of the Almighty
Sincere and repent
After what happened
It was better
For both of you, do not blame each other
