She has eyes
That go deep
Like the blue ocean

Full of burden
And intense emotion
She fights for what is right
Always pursuing with might

She walks a mile
Just to see everyone smile
Regardless of her feelings
Her tiredness
Her free will

Her tears reflect
The intensity of her soul
The never ending problem
That makes her sore

Her soul is dry
Dry as the branched tree
That has never seen the bright light
Or been watered with care

Life is not fair
Today she WILL smile
And forget others
And their never ending sighs

Today she will walk a mile
To see herself smile
And tend to her shattered soul
And dig deep beneath the core

To find herself
And fix
Her broken eyes


Thank you for reading

Welcome to Passions!
Mother Teresa must have suffered each day with her conflicts, the public vs the private persona. But the amazing social work she did will stand on its own merit.

A fine sensitive write, Amalie.

Yo dear Amalie,

Mother Teresa is one of my favorite people.  She did great work in India, which is one of my favorite places to work.

It's full of really nice people.

Love Bobby

Welcome to PIP, Lovely tribute, to a great soul. My dad was lucky to meet her once and he still talks about that magical moment.
