Another thousand years, live on
From here to forever, next
Divinely purposed, born a beacon
Living God's love, in good acts
Diseased outcasts you touched
Abandoned dying, you fed and cared
Till their last moments you watched
Heaven's home sent, saintly-love shared
Little acts with great love, given
Crossing barriers, reaching God's children
Discarded lepers, aged, the forgotten
God touched, using hands of this instrument
Living a life of giving: a religion of love
A people, a nation, the world had come to know
That such great love, endowed from above
In Mother Teresa, a small woman, God's love aglow
For another thousand years to come
Would man care for his neglected neighbor?
If not, what has his educated self become?
A dark crow, for own selfish needs only, labour?
What kindness act has he shown?
What known love received, has he given?
Why neglect charity, even postpone?
How acts of kindness, taught to children?
Man must return to God's love
If he is to have a heart to serve
It's in giving, you receive
A law of life: cannot deceive.
Paul Sebastian
