Mother Teresa

USPS 2010 : Mother Teresa 100 Anniversary


Overcoming many ups and downs, 
pacing the pious path God paved for her,
Mary Teresa born in Albania 
became Mother Teresa in Calcutta.

Tormented by the agony of the destitute
she brought them to her home, 
to where she felt they should be, 
for everybody in her eyes is born equal.

She heard dedicated the divine call 
of compassion resonate within,
reverberating as the voice of the Lord 
in the dark nights of the sick.  

The benevolent soul got beatified 
and she was canonized in due time.
The ever caring mother entered 
the holy sanctum of sainthood. 

Raising her passion for the human service 
to the ethereal heights of fortitude,
she emerged in the Missionaries of Charity 
as the fountain of joy for the needy. 

The citadel of empathy she created 
decades ago with the bits of her heart,        
abandons even now the tears of the indigent, 
although she has gone to her heavenly abode.
