Saturday Poem and Gratitude List

Jalál (Glory), 12 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Saturday, January 11, 2020

"Meditations on The Writings of Baha'u'llah" 1

In the words of Baha'u'llah,
I find a fortress safe and strong
where the cares and strife of modern life
neither linger nor belong.

His words inspire my heart to find
the love that hate conceals,
His pen inscribes upon my spirit
the faith that tests reveal.

His verses are my sanctuary
bestowing peace on mind and soul,
His sacred scriptures God's book of laws
to which obedience is my goal.
