Mother Teresa - love immortal In frail human frame; Angel of peace and compassion, Knew no bounds of caste or creed: With arms outstretched, Waded through slums forsaken To help the poor in their humble homes: Orphans discarded, dying destitutes, Deserted cripples and lepers deformed, Found in her a ministering angel Whose gentle touch revived hope; Brought solace and joy. Unmindful of praise or blame, To serve the poor was her only aim, And never did she crave for wealth or fame. Like St.Francis of Assisi, she prayed - " Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace, " Where there is hatred, let me sow love, " Where there is injury, pardon, " Where there is doubt, faith, " Where there is despair, hope......." Life inspiring, a splendid saga Of selfless service and sacrifice. For ever she lives in the loving hearts Of those who strive to rid the world Of sorrow, misery and distress. ** M.G.Narasimha Murthy Hyderabad, India. mgnmurthy4@gmail
