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
