Anyway - A Poem by Mother Teresa

Category: Poems & Prayers Sunday, 28 August 2011 Views: 1863

This poem was found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta.  

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa was a Radical Virgo born 26 Aug 1910 in Albania. Her Mercury is in the last degree of Virgo, and her Sun in Virgo opposes Chiron.
