Mother Teresa - A Saint! Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Mother Teresa - A Saint!

Rating: 5.0


She fed the hungry,
She clothed the naked,
She sheltered the homeless,
She picked up the discarded,
She embraced the downtrodden;
She will always remain - A
Symbol of nobility, beauty and purity!
Saint Mother Teresa! A Messiah of the poor!

An exemplary servant of God,
A rosary that she held on steadfastly in her hands,
A radiant smile that lit up her face,
A beautiful mind that knew only to serve,
A hand that healed the poorest of the poor,
A leg that raced to support the sick and old,
A heart that opened with compassion for the dying,
A soul that captured million hearts world over!

Mother Teresa clad in a white Saree with blue border,
Majestic symbol of pure love,
Magnanimously leaves a legacy of
Manifold service to the suffering people through her
Missionaries of Charity in Kolkatta!
Many religions, many faiths live together in harmony,
Making it possible to live and die in dignity.
My humble salutations to you, O Divine Mother Teresa!

geeta, something the film the letters on mother teresa brings out, which i had read about previously, is the darkness, the feeling of abandonment she struggled against. i have felt this but not, as i understand it, for the extended period of years that mother teresa did. in my case, i had a wife in university working on her masters degree and two sons, so i had to carry on despite my feelings. in mother teresa's case, she had her work and so many who looked to her, a growing mission that stemmed from her- and she carried on. this, it strikes me, in itself is so admirable and worthy of beatification. it is a struggle of all of us, but in her intensified, to not be guided by the fear, depression, whatever is the negative in us. but, instead, to do the good we feel called to. glen

Saint Mother Teresa gave everything to the poor, sick and downtrodden. Her entire energy was spent on serving others. Yet, sometimes, in quiet moments of her life, the scribes write, about the darkness and inner struggle. i wonder whether this is true. Perhaps yes or no! because one who surrenders everything to God has no time to think of the self as an individual. Everything of hers was given away including her thoughts. Glen, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is so good and generous of you. God bless!
