America's Destiny: To 'Abdu'l-Baha
America's Destiny:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

"...The American continent gives signs and evidences of very great advancement; its future is even more promising, for its influence and illumination are far-reaching, and it will lead all nations spiritually..."
'Abdu'l-Baha12

He saw a glorious destiny
for the nation of my birth:
beautiful America.

He saw a glorious destiny,
to lead the world spiritually
and construct the Tabernacle of Universal Peace;
thus I say The Prayer for America  Open in new Window.
and proclaim the oneness of humanity.
