Pilgrimage Day 3: The Greatest Holy Leaf

“He is the Eternal! This is My testimony for her who hath heard My voice and drawn nigh unto Me. Verily, she is a leaf that hath sprung from this pre-existent Root. She hath revealed herself in My name and tasted of the sweet savours of My holy, My wondrous pleasure… Upon her rest the glory of My name and the fragrance of My shining robe.” –Baha’u’llah


To our world she is an immortal heroine
A blessing to all creation
To her Holy and Blessed Father
She was solace and consolation

A leaf upon His tree
A tendril of His flame
A soul beyond this world
A letter of His Name

Her life was filled with sorrow
Caused by others fear and blindness
Yet with courage and love she moved ahead
The embodiment of kindness

I pray to follow her example
To be gentle, loving and strong
To give my life to His Covenant
To sing her glorious song
