(132) Mother Teresa: The Scintillating Touch (Silssa 1983 - 99)
A sacred hand towards the poor,
A golden heart for the invalids,
A heavenly smile for the refugees….
O Mother,
Who other can be all these?
Your touch on my shoulders
And on my face,
In which heaven
I found myself – my heart-
With the pleasure it filled,
My tiredness swept away and
My anger turned to gratitude….
To whom?
To my mother, father or God…
I don’t know…I don’t know….
With you I am now
And I only know that
The scintillating touch
Still on my shoulders!
Silssa. (1983 - 99)
(Mother Teresa blessed my sister Silssa during her school days in Cochin and she remembers that experience through this poem)
'Blessed are the pure in heart For they shall see God' Surely she was blessed To have been touched By a True Universal Mother Who loved the suffering And lived for the sick! Thanks for helping me meet and know your sister through these her poems. Leena
