Here’s a poetic tribute of Sarala to Mother Teresa, and a call to the youth to emulate her, in Different Truths.
Learn dear youth
What’s humanism
from our beloved
Mother Teresa
who cleansed the lepers
with her own weak and
trembling hands
She ran to wherever her
attention was needed
caring for the dirty urchins
and the suffering unwanted!
What are you waiting for
young men and girls
Go after humanity
rendering service to
the needy and poor!
Go off your sumptuous
meal a day and carry it to
those hungry and crying!
Collect the lifesaving drugs from available sources and run and
treat those unfortunate souls!
If the old Mother with her weak body could do so much,
why can’t you follow her footsteps
at least halfway through?
Now is the time,
now is the hour
to show
that you care!
