Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Token of Grace: To The Bab

Token of Grace:
To The Bab

As a token of divine grace,
the Almighty laid down
the foundation of religion
and sent--
in each age--
a holy prophet
to mirror forth
the Creator's love
and forgiveness.

Channels
of the Holy Spirit
they revealed proof
of the existence of God
through their words
and actions.

In this age,
as a token of His Grace,
God has released
a double measure of the Holy Spirit

The Bab and Baha'u'llah
revealed through their scriptures
the Oneness of God,
the Oneness of religion,
and the Oneness of humanity,
while fulfilled the prophecies
of past Manifestations of God.
