INSPIRED COUPLETS

World Religion Day, a time to see,
How different paths can agree.

Harmony, understanding sought,
Lessons of kindness, dearly bought.

Must talk and share, must read and learn,
For peaceful hearts, we deeply yearn.

Though faiths may bloom in varied hue,
Love's gentle light shines brightly through.

Compassion's touch, a binding thread,
Uniting all, the living and the dead.

A world of peace, our hopeful plea,
In oneness find humanity.
