'Abdu'l-Baha's Relationship with Baha'u'llah

'Abdu'l-Baha's Relationship
With Baha'u'llah1

The first to recognize
his father's station,
'Abdu'l-Baha spent his life
in service to God's Manifestation.

Choosing the position
of servitude,
'Abdu'l-Baha is
the perfect reflection
of radiant light of Baha'u'llah.

Baha'u'llah showed His affection
for His son,
by honoring him
with the title
the Master.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem #24 in the 100 I'm writing to commemorate the centenary of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
