Salutation To Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, I salute thee!

              Thou art,a pious soul and
     
              Indeed God's chosen messenger

              and harbinger of hope to millions

               of suffering downtrodden -

               destitute women,orphaned children

               Sick men and women and lepers
 
               whom the society hated to see even;

               The gentle touch of thine hands

                healed their sufferings and gave them

                A ray of hope to live and self-assurance;

                And indeed you've performed miracles

                Which the Pope has recognized, and of

                which in your noble life time 

                You never even spoke or mentioned

                 And that speak volumes of your humility;

                And you lived a glorious life of selfless service

                To the uncared for poor and innocent humans

                And I look forward to the day 

                The great church of God bestows

                 Sainthood on thee so that the world

                  would soon remember thee as Saint Theresa

                   God's chosen soul and saint of the twentieth century

                  I salute thee Mother Teresa!
