A Poem

My home is the home of peace.

My home is the home of joy and delight.

My home is the home of laughter and exultation.

Whosoever enters through the portals of this home,
must go out with gladsome heart.

This is the home of light;
whosoever enters here must become illuminated.

This is the home of knowledge:
the one who enters it must receive knowledge.

This is the home of love:
those who come in must learn the lessons of love;
thus may they know to love each other.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá
