Contemplating Unity

Contemplating Unity

1

Unity in diversity
All working in harmony
To build a better world.

2

Being in unity
That's important today.
Nothing can resist the power of unity.

3

Evolution works toward unity.
Through material and spiritual evolution
Humanity moves toward unity.

4

Voices in the darkness,
call for reconciliation,
Call for America to implement
The unity its flag represents.

5

Reflecting reality
rainbows dance
among obscuring clouds.

6

Unique individuals
Created from crystallized water
Form snow fields

7

Joining hands,
Eyes kissing eyes,
Eyes sleep without tears,
In a world free of fear.

8

No physical tie binds as tight,
As the Glory of God,
Here on the plain of matter
We have become one family.

9

The spiritual tie that binds
Is Baha'u'llah,
Together we walk into paradise,
One family.

10

Laughter echoes
through the corridors of time
and sends our differences flying.

11

The love of God
Created a single species
Humanity
