Poems about parenting

[babyledweaner]

I'm trying to find a poem about parenting for my baby's naming ceremony. We had Ode on the Whole Duty of Parents for DC1 and I'd like something that addresses our responsibilities to him (without being too cheesy). Any suggestions gratefully received. (I've already had a look at the naming ceremony threads for general poems.)

There's the famous Kahlil Gibran one - though not everyone agrees with him:

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

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.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent 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 as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

not Philip Larkin then
