Be Kind Anyway-Tribute To Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable 
And self-centered 
Forgive them any way
If you are kind people may
Accuse  you of ulterior motives
Be kind any way
If you are honest people 
May cheat you
Be honest anyway 
If you find happiness people 
May be jealous 
Be happy anyway
The good you do today 
May be forgotten tomorrow 
Do good anyway 
Give the world the best you have
And it may never be enough 
Give your best anyway 
For you see in the end
It is between you and God
It was never between you and them
Mother Theresa of Calcutta 
A heart of pure gold
You cared for the unwanted 
You gave joy to the unloved
And you stood by the uncared for
Continue to rest in bosom of the lord
