Poem and Gratitude List for April 1, 2019

Kamál (Perfection), 12 Bahá (Splendor) 176 B.E. - Monday, April 1, 2019

After School1

I listen to the laughing children
playing outside
on this beautiful
and cloudy spring day.

I smile
because it reminds
me of my childhood,
and the joy
of being out of school
for the day.
