Limerick dedicated to Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who will be cannoized in Rome on Sept. 4, 2016; based upon actual pic taken of Mother Teresa with Dawn, a friend's daughter, during Mother Teresa's visit to Baton Rouge, LA in 1980s at St. Agnes Catholic Church.

Pic: Keith holding pic of Dawn with Mother Teresa; Maria Constantin took original pic

Song: Blessed Mother Teresa, Beatitudes, "'I' Must Die," Keith, 2008:

Poem Artwork

A very cool black and white picture sits on my desk and is so alluring, ya know!


Dawn, a very young toddler, is seen smiling with an effervescent glow!


She's looking directly at a Nun


Whose face shines resplendent like the Sun / Son


There's so much that the pic really doesn't show!



I wrote a song once about this holy gal who was so petite


Based upon the Matt 5: 1 – 12, her largess everyone would meet


She reached out to all in need


To the poorest of the poorest, indeed


It was really you and me, so incomplete



She's been Blessed by the Lord and the Church as well


All of us knew that only time would tell


Like us 'Yats love, she'd be honored among the Saints


And give true meaning to all of us 'Aints


Teaching us so much how to steer from hell



Her lowliness has certainly humbled my lofty way


All faiths and walks of life give tribute to her every day


May we follow her simple and caring Love


In Peace, like the Gentle & Guiding Dove


Mother Teresa of Calcutta, to God, through you, we surely pray!

 Reviews of "Mother Teresa Pic Story / Beatitudes - 'I' Must Die Song"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on September 3, 2016
Like a few others that I won't go into naming, Mother Teresa was one of those shining examples of the best that humanity can produce. And she did so not by being flamboyant and great in any outward way, but by merely attending to those that no one else would attend to. As a result, she is not only an example for Dawn, but for all of us on how to live.

Ron
