Dear Mother! - t'is your anniversary,
Please let us tell you we have not forgot,
Look down on us from God's infinity,
And intercede for all of us by God.
**********************************
Rejoice in a new Saint! dear troubled world!
Wide opened heaven’s portals multi-pearled,-
Sent down to us a star that kissed this earth,-
The bells rang celebrating Mother‘s birth.
Albania, so small a land, take pride!
One of your daughters is beatified!
Resisting worldly charms and pleasures' lure,
She chose to serve the poorest of the poor.
She braced for greatest hardships without fear,
And made of sacrifice her great carrier;.
Her little hand reached for the highest goal,
To serve the indigents and make them whole,
Bestowing on the poor caresses sweet,
She gathered them upon the darkest street,
Beloved, revered on every continent,
A household name is hers in every land.
Lo! - Sister Agnes Bojaxjiu became
Mother Theresa when she changed her name,
Our "Mother Universal" recognized
In every man on earth her Lord, the Christ.
Her love and service took away the sting
Of bitterness in grievous suffering,
Her radiant smile alone would often cure
The broken hearts of the abandoned poor.
Her words and sayings and so many a quote
Led countless souls unerringly to God;
She assuaged hurt, pain and misery,
In selfless and heroic charity.
The dying indigents found in her arms
A loving mother’s tenderness and warmth,
Their worth and dignity through her restored,
Dressed by her hands passed on to meet their Lord.
She sowed the precious and immortal seed,
By her example, service, word and deed,
Dear "Universal Mother" reconcile
And heal the wounds of nations with your smile!.
Your children are now sad for you are gone,
Yet keep the faith you leave them not alone
And pray: dear mother please forget us not,
But intercede for all of us by God!"
