Sungha Jung - Can play on your emotions

I was searching for Eric Clapton’s, “Tears in Heaven” song when I came across this kid. I have never seen anyone so good at guitar. And look at him, he is so young, he’s got a whole future ahead. I have been on the guitar, for say, 15 years still I don’t think I can ever come any closer to this little fella's playing!

He is so cool and collected when he is playing the instrument, I am dead sure he will go a long way. Hats off to this prodigy! And,and...guess what piece he is playing here?

'On the Children' by Khalil Gribran

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.
