It happens all the time in heaven

It happens all the time in heaven,

and some day 

It will begin to happen

Again on earth:-

That men and women who are married

And men and men who are lovers

And women and women who give each other

Light,

Often will get down on their knees

And while so tenderly holding their lover’s hand

With tears in their eyes

Will sincerely speak, saying:

“My dear, How can I be more loving to you?

How can I be more

 Kind?”

Hafiz (as rendered by Daniel Landinski)
