Had no hair at all,
Under her wimple
Was one giant pimple....

If you care to take a peek

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)

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...

One
we go
Two three through
this life for all
they seek the Fifth column
they had a Sixth sense to 
recompense the poor the weak impoverished Ones
Petrarch, Dickens, Marx, Harding-Davis, Riis, Mother Teresa,
In form rare to Multitudes, but not these souls,
Thanks to human kindness amidst the insanity-- Ah the Humanity!...

I am not a witch
Neither Mother Teresa
What a big Relief!

No, you don’t have to  
Save the world and those around
What a big Relief!

I am just my own 
master, student and know-all
What a big Relief!

I am a victim  
or the one responsible.
What a big Relief!

My only big job
To save myself from my self
What a big Relief!...

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

I sit in the shade
Watching dragonflies wander,
And content, I smile.

“Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.” – Mother Teresa

Charity
at Christmastime
hardly
ends the season.
It continues with
enduring
goodwill,
elevates
caring,
amity.
Celebrate
humility from
simple gestures of our
love
for one another....

Women Have a Voice
Women have a voice
Strength in their silence
They have caused heads to turn
Rocking the world with defiance.
Marie Currie turned the tide
Against male dominance
Mother Teresa the weaker side
Overpowered men of prominence
Much against their heaves and sighs
To save many without supplies.
Women are stronger now,
With social platforms giving voice
They control every rank
Which once, men them employed....

Poor Jimi's dead and his music used
to turn baby boomers heads.
A musical icon shills a new car.
Let me stand next to your fire.

Nothing sacred in the consumer world.
Those who once thought you a joke
use your songs to invoke what is left 
of a generations youthful fire.

I can see the Mother Teresa 
Depends commercial on the horizon,
and the Princess Diana, brakes.
Jimi, you're lucky it wasn't charcoal.
Let me stand next to your fire....

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

Each moment is all we need 
To fill the earth with every good deed
Life is so short, let us not waste time
Let's make happiness our chime 

Every moment is a reason to give 
Every smile is a reason to live 
For life on earth is temporary 
But we can do great things out of ordinary

I imagine you're as sick of the mother teresa jokes, as I am of the bell 
ones..."ding, dong" ring my chimes, on and on.etc.

anyway: re; the door; me too, and countless zillions of others.. but to us, ours are 
the ones we deem to count to ...this is purely a natural trait...Death is the sword of 
Damacles' held over all our heads, and worse yet, to those we love...and when it 
collects it toll...our hearts have to dig a new hole.
best regards, tom...

Mary Teresa from remote Albania all the way
came as a young girl to India to permanently stay.
By chosen profession a passionate teacher unflawed,
destiny drove her to become a benign missionary of God.

Home she brought the sick and the destitute,
who got new lives under her divine care absolute.
For human service her kind heart did whatever it could
as Mother Teresa before entering the sanctum of sainthood.
