From a friend in Iowa (this is so special): On the eve of the final day of the Bahá’í month of Mulk (Dominion), the Ayala household is getting ready for the Kindness elves sent by the Ayyám-i-há Fairy to help spread joy and love during the 5 days of Ayyám-i-há this year.
Tomorrow, written on a scroll for the girls will introduce the Kindness elves and Ayyám’í’Ha fairy for the first time:
🌸 High above the winter sky,
where soft pink clouds go drifting by,
lives the Ayyám-i-Há Fairy bright,
with twinkling wings of silver light.
She watches Earth when days grow cold,
when hearts need warmth more than gold.
“For these are days of joy,” she says,
“of giving love in gentle ways.”
So down she calls with sparkly cheer,
“Justice! Grace! The time is here!”
Two little elves step into sight—
one in purple, shining bright,
and one in pink, so soft and sweet,
with tiny boots on twinkling feet.
“We’re ready!” Justice laughs with pride,
his purple hat tipped to the side.
“We’ll spread fair hearts both far and wide!”
“And I,” says Grace with gentle face,
“I’ll sprinkle kindness every place!”
The Fairy smiles and gives a wink,
and pours them both a kindness drink.
It glows like sunlight, warm and clear—
the magic needed every year.
“But listen well,” the Fairy says,
“These are the Ayyám-i-Há Ways:
Rule number one:
Be kind each day,
In what you think, and do, and say.
Rule number two:
Give joy away—
A gift, a hug, a note, a play.
Rule number three:
If someone’s blue,
Find something loving you can do.
Rule number four:
Be fair and true—
Let Justice guide the best in you.
Rule number five:
Let Grace shine bright—
Use gentle hands and words of light.
And one more rule, both small and wise:
No touching elves — it’s no surprise!
Just like Hexabah, they must stay free
To keep their magic sparkly!
If hands don’t grab and fingers wait,
Their joy grows big — and works just great.
The elves both nod. They know the plan.
They’ve read the Kindness Book again!
“Lincoln and Lowen,” whispers Grace,
“We’ll visit them in their cozy place.
We’ll watch for chances big and small
To help them share love with all.”
Justice grins, his eyes aglow,
“There’s something special you should know…”
The Fairy laughs, her wings a blur:
“Hexabah might visit too, for sure!
Just one bright day to laugh and play,
If magic calls her down your way.”
With that, the elves slide down a star—
not very big, not very far—
and land where children laugh and play
to fill the world with brighter days.
And if you feel a warmth inside,
or choose brave kindness over pride,
or help someone without a fuss—
That might be Grace.
That might be Justice.
Or maybe both…
Helping child 1,
Helping child 2,
And helping all of us. ✨
