Mother Teresa wrote this poem : LIFE

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is costly, care for it.

Life is wealth, keep it.

Life is love, enjoy it.

Life is mystery, know it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

Read another poem by Mother Teresa : Do It Anyway

There is no place you can go to hide from the thoughts
that you keep contemplating over and over inside your mind…

There is no place you can venture where your true emotions
will be concealed and the secrets of your heart will not show…

There is no place in this whole wide world you can travel
to where your spirit does not direct or guide you towards your destiny…

Life is the experience of being you;
no one can ever be someone other than who they are…

The beauty found in each and every person is the essence of life…
Simply … you are who you are and for whatever time you have to be,

You must not try to shadow yourself,
but, rather, express yourself…

When you are sad
I will dry your tears
When you are scared
I will comfort your fears

When you are worried
I will give you hope
When you are confused
I will help you cope

and when you are lost
and can’t see the light
I shall be your beacon
shining ever so bright

This is my oath
I pledge till the end
Why you may ask
because you’re a friend.
