Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa

Not like the Mona Lisa 
A bit like father time
Does not smile like Gandhi 
( Quote ) "Peace begins with a smile.”  


“Come be My light,” 


This luminous messenger of God
Belong to the world
Missionary of Charity, a “mother to the poor,”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
