LOVE IS
A FRUIT IN SEASON
a Poem by Mother Teres

At all times and within reach of every hand!
Spread love everywhere you go
First of all in your own house
Give love to your children
To your husband or wife
To a next door neighbor
Let no one ever come to you
Without leaving happier
Be the living expression of God's kindness
Kindness, in your face
Kindness in your eyes
Kindness in your smile
Kindness in your warm greeting!

Turtle Doves and Love Birds

"Oft have I heard both youth and virgin say
Birds choose their mates, and couples too, this day;
But by their flight I never can divine,
When I shall couple with my Valentine."
