A Sonnet For Mother Teresa Poem by Walterrean Salley

A Sonnet For Mother Teresa

Rating: 3.9


(August 1910—September 1997)

Her heart was big as all out doors.
She was a lover of the poor,
And dedicated to serve mankind,
Compassion oozed her every pore.

Weighted down with lots of care,
She often knelt in humble prayer.
Such saintly giant of the faith
Was so revered everywhere.

When God called her home to Him,
The world lost a valued gem:
A servant—true to the cause,
From whom eternal good did stem.

She was humble—but standing tall,
She left a legacy for all.

Great Fantastic. I am so convinced that Mother Teresa was one of the happiest people, if not THE happiest on earth. If we really think about it, the moments that give us really peace of mind and happiness are those that we manage to truly care for someone and make alleviate someone's burden. I have tried to make my life a bit more caring every day, but the struggle with my greedy ego seems far from over. Let's celebrate everyday a truly caring person like Teresa and make the world a bit more caring bit by bit. A toast on a caring world!
