I wrote this poem long way back when Mother Teresa left for her heavenly abode.





















                               Farewell to Mother

The birds sang early in that morning

Making the hearts of millions moaning

The flower of kindness is no more now

To pour the fragrance of human love

Mother Teresa!, Oh holy one, 

You left us all and went alone

Your death, for us, is such a loss

And may you be in heaven as rose

A dew drop was you for the poor 

Consoling them to help them cure

You lighted the lamp of kindness with ease

As if you were a goddess of peace 

No one here to love us anew

Oh! Mother of world, farewell to you.
