Messiah

This piece of poetry is devoted to one of the few selfless personalities who can really be called as avatars of God who descend from heavens only to live for others.


MOTHER TERESA


Needy was when in distress,
Just depressed, suppressed,
Mother Teresa came in life,
as a ray of light in strife.

She was a lady of pure love,
For poor she was a white dove.
When someone got buried,
under the mountain of worry deep.
Or when some one was,
far away from sleep.
Mother Teresa told us to smile
and not to weep.

She was born to a Skopje Family
was named Agnes Bojaxhio
She was fed nicely in home
But for poor she chose to roam

She became a teacher in some school
when she ended her teens
One day she got a call of God
She joined some sister's Team.
Her journey was started then
to help ill and dying in slums

She Helped God in his work
in service of people who wanted her lot
she was lady of love with unlimited depth
and hence she got a peaceful death
She was called the lady of slums
Her voice echoes in the world
like a sweet hum
