16Crown of Glory
- Father Moon wrote this poem in 1935 at the age of
15. - In the book where this poem was first published
Father Moon wrote - I had a revelation on Easter morning when I
was 15. From that day, I have walked this way,
following heavens orders in order to fulfill
Gods Will.
-----
When I doubt people, I feel pain.When I judge
people, it is unbearable.When I hate people,
there is no value to my existence. Yet if I
believe, I am deceived.If I love, I am
betrayedSuffering and grieving tonight, my head
in my hands.Am I wrong? Yes I am wrong.
17Even though we are deceived, still
believe,Though we are betrayed, still
forgive.Love completely, even those who hate
you. Wipe your tears away and welcome with a
smileThose who know nothing but deceit,And
those who betray without regret. O, Master, the
pain of loving.Look at my hands.Place your hand
on my chest.My heart is bursting, such
agony. But when I love those who acted against
me,I brought victory.If you have done the same
things,I will give you the Crown of Glory.
Sun Myung Moon,1935
