Mother Teresa Canonization

“I see somebody dying, I pick him up. I find somebody hungry, I give him food. He can love and be loved. I don’t look at his color, I don’t look at his religion. I don’t look at anything. Every person whether he is Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist, he is my brother, my sister."

- Saint Mother Teresa

I give gratitude to Saint Mother Teresa, who served others no matter the times she lived in her own darkness. She worked through the light.

You were and still are through your spirit an "instrument of peace."

"I've been a victim of a selfish kinda love

It's time that I realize

There are some with no home

Not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart

And a washed out dream

They follow the pattern of the wind ya see

Cause they got no place to be

That's why I'm starting with me

Take a look at yourself and then make the change

You gotta get it right, while you got the time

Cause when you close your heart

Then you close your mind"

"For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I turned up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya know
Cause they got nowhere to go"
