Mother Teresa - What A Life.....

Rating: 5.0


When God saw suffering multiply
He sent his best angel down
And to the needy she did fly
Wearing compassion's crown

Mother Teresa her hallowed name
With her work held the world spellbound
And even with her expanding fame
She lived in a frugal hermits shroud

She lived, she served, she gracefully passed on
And she now continues to live blissfully forever
In the hearts of those now living and yet unborn
She will with her story inspire and create wonder.......

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
As in the case of Mahatma Gandhi, we can also say that Mother Teresa's life was her message. In this world of teeming billions, very few are born with hearts of 24 carat gold. Infinitely rich within and yet living a very frugal life of service to the suffering. No language is rich enough to truly describe such divine souls..........

Yes, Mother Teresa was a blessed soul who found joy in her vow of poverty as she served those who did not have to take a vow to experience poverty. But after her death her diaries revealed, and her spiritual adviser confirmed she lived in what traditional mystics called THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL, that is, God did not speak to her, she was totally bereft of spiritual comfort. How could a so-called loving God so completely abandon one of his saints? But she did feel abandoned, totally for over forty years. There is a very different poem buried in that story, but I do not want to write it.

Mother Teresa was among my favorites. The way she reached out and cared for the sick, dying and needy was proof of the love that resided in her heart for all of humanity. She didn't seek riches- she sought souls. Surely, she was a great example for ALL. Thank you.
