Dear Elika: A very beautiful tribute to these souls who are willing to give their lives for the wonderful Baha’i Faith that I have only been a member of for thirty eight years. I hope and pray that I am never tested in this area, but if ever I am, I can only hope that I would be as courageous as the Baha’is that live, and are constantly intimidated and persecuted by the Iranian government and some of the clergy.

We are Bahais living in Iran, and your beautiful song brought tear to our eyes. What keeps us strong is knowing that people in different parts of the world are fighting for us, each in their own way. You are a Champion of Jstice…you are the voice of the unheard…May God bless you…
Thanks again…

Most welcome dear Ava and Parvin. Glad you enjoyed the song.
Dear Peyman and Noora – your kind words, all the way from Iran, were so moving and touched me deeply. You are the champions of justice and we look at your example of steadfastness and sacrifice with great awe. Thank you for being such incredible models of faith and forbearance. We will definitely be keeping you all in our prayers.
Thanks Lua for writing. I look forward to sharing more songs with you soon.
