然后风筝就越飞越远，你知道没有多久，这个美丽的小家伙就会挣脱你绑在他身上的束缚，尽情翱翔在天空，自由自在。

 

那时，你就知道了，你已经完成你所应该做的事了。

 

 

 

Children Are Like Kites　

 

You spend years trying to get them off the ground.

 

You run with them until you're both breathless.

 

They crash.

 

They hit the rooftop.

 

You patch comfort, and sure that someday they would fly

 

Finally they are airborne...

 

They need more string and you keep letting it out.

 

They talk and the each twist of the twine

 

there is a sadness that goes with joy.

 

The kite becomes more distant,

 

and you know it won't be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you two together

 

and will soar as it is meant to soar, free and alone.

 

Only then do you know that you did your job.
