The Music of Children1

In the music of children,
we live in unity:
One God, one race, one religion.

God lives in the music of children,
in the songs of the purified heart
God is reality.

A breath from the Kingdom of Glory,
carries the scent of the sanctified soul
in the music of children.

Today I am thankful...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the Ding Dong I had for my desert with my lunch today.
          ...that I have completed 2 poems of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab. Those 2 are "1 Muharram 1235 AH"  and "Intoning the Prayer of The Bab" .
          ...for the Arizona sweet iced tea I had with my supper tonight.
          ...that I have 166,537 GPs in my Gift Points account.
