The Mother of Mother Teresa

The sweetest, most special thing I've ever heard--
(though as a kid, Mother Teresa thought it absurd)

Was her mother's primping before her father returned
Every work day evening, after their bread was earned

She always wanted to welcome him home with love
& their shared mission was to lead their kids Above
