This story recounts the decision that Grandpa Pete and Leanne made to travel to Iran when expecting a baby. Here are the two poems Grandpa Pete shares: The great Sufi master Hafez wrote: Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that — it lights the whole sky. And Saadi composed the famous lines that are inscribed today at the entrance of the United Nations building: Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, Other members uneasy will remain. If you've no sympathy for human pain, The name of human you cannot retain.
