Moments Merciful

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need."
                                                   Quote_ Mother Teresa

Feeling light like a flower, free of worries like a bird,
Being led by firm faith and hope and trust like a lamb herd;
The goal of birth is discerned; the Purpose is crystal clear,
Mind is free as the freedom itself without any fear;
Service of the poor is set as a well-assured duty,
I gain within my physique and psyche, divine beauty...!

Life is beautiful, like the very universe itself,
With earth, ether, fire, sky, and water – the great treasure shelf;
That spread vibration - optimistic and pessimistic,
Yet, bequeath me to discern stem and leaf as a mystic;
Spreading peace and harmony of mind and body, and soul,
Like petal and pollen as florally integral whole...!

Freedom from pain and suffering and reaching Nirvana,
Avoiding duality and gaining constant Brahma;
With vital forces and righteous deeds avoiding falsehood,
Setting my goals ethically right and reaching sainthood;
Loving myself and self of others, as Jesus Christ said, 
In him, like a child, I place my whole self and go ahead...!!!

Hi Chris, We chose the same quote. I found this well-written write to be uplifting and spiritual. In my opinion, Mother Teresa would have been proud to read what you wrote. Congratulations on your well-deserved win. Have a great day.
