BROKEN SPIRITS

My tribute to a wonderful woman

 

 

 

 

 

 

BROKEN SPIRITS

 

The homeless and destitute called you “little mother”

Into the slums of India you brought the light of God

Fed the hungry, welcomed lepers and bathed their sores ~ 

~

Tiny in stature, big of heart

Frail, strong on compassion

Tenacious, humble

Prayer your fortitude….

Hard unrelenting work your life ~

~
 

Never ceasing in God’s will

You were an angel among the broken bodies and spirits

Administering aid to the unwanted and ‘untouchables’

Soothing the anguish of a forgotten humanity ~

~

 

Tiny babies and children held in your arms

Felt warmth and love for the first time

The crippled and the blind given shelter from the street

The dying left this world blessed and no longer unloved ~

~

 

Your life mission fulfilled by example and devotion

Compelling your Sisters to carry on your Mission

Heaven called you home….

 

We call you Saint Teresa ~

This is beautiful Helena. A tribute to one of the kindest, most loving souls to
walk this planet. At least whom we are aware of.. I believe there are many others
who have gone unnoticed.

She was the epitome of a beautiful soul. Indeed.. :)
Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring poem !

As I live in Kolkata ( formerly Calcutta) I knew her , rather her immortal and godly works closely. Your words are equally inspiring, saying this is saying quite a lot.

This is a great write to Saint Theresa. You will go to heaven for writing this poem.
