Ode to Mother Teresa

Ode to Mother Teresa

Beloved crusader  for the poor

woman of charity and compassion

Server of the world under the lord

faithful truth in her  glorious actions

Unconditional love was her quest

pure sacrifices of her noble heart

Selfless service to the poorest  met

charisma  to the sick piously brought

Divine soul with a golden touch

in a journey of devotion truth survived

Caring the loving that lived and died

by standards of love shared so much

She sailed in turmoil the roughest of seas

over storms  and tides never ceased to plead

Prayed  above the grayest  skies

her ship ‘s  survival safely  arrives

She taught the world what it means to care

for every person and why we should share

The suffering of others comes  from others greed

this has to change it’s the  greatest need

Humility is the rose of the garden of life

which  grows  with care when the touch is right

This is why Mother Teresa ‘s garden so faithfully grew

perfumed  with roses  her whole life through

If only a grain of her love is well preserved

in everyone’s heart  to  care and serve

Humanity would not suffer or cry

For our souls well- kept will never die
