###mother Teresa (16) Compassion And Love Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

Mother Teresa shunned politics.
Once she said, “If I’m in politics,
I may stop loving people,
That I can’t think of or spell.”

“You work for the poor,
And avoid them never.
Love, share and care
The poor people forever.”

This new meaning she gave
For ‘compassion and love, ’
As her legacy for this world,
To be kept ever in mind.

At the bottom of her heart,
A touch of darkness she felt
For her separation from God,
As a close friend of the Lord.

Despite the prevailing darkness,
And her constant thirst for Jesus,
She did play her role well
And served the poor people.

She said, “At home begins love.
Start first to love and serve
Your family and neighbors
Give them some time of yours.”

“Share with needy and poor,
Your belongings, be whatever,
With a smile and sweet word,
Treating them as children of God.”

“Giving food to the hungry,
Nice drink to the thirsty,
And visiting the sick in bed
Will please Jesus in the end.”

“Pray for peace, joy and love
As part of your sacred vow
To please Jesus, the son of God,
Who always loved this world.”

“Peace of heart he gave
That came from love
For doing well to others
And serving good causes.”

“God gave us His Son, Jesus,
Who died on the Holy Cross
To show his love for us,
And spread his divine peace.”
