"Mother Teresas Heartbeats"
judy joy jones


Mother Teresas heartbeats
were those of the poorest of the poor
all over earths shores

In her arms
she held close
the souls the world threw out
knowing it was love
from the divine
she gave out

For those with no home
when the darkest nights
blocked Gods radiant light

Mother Teresa was there
bending over the beds
of the dying poor

She is spending her heaven
doing good on earth
as she so often
said she would

And her sacred light
is so bright
it dries all tears
and takes away fears
of those forgotten
and alone

Mother Teresas heartbeats
were those of the poorest of the poor
all over earths shores

And from inside heavens doors
she prays night and day
to dry the tears of the homeless
through the hearts and arms
of you and I
