Release me, oh God, <br />From the desire to be adored, <br />From the desire to be exalted, <br />From the desire to be honored, <br />From the desire to be applauded, <br />From the desire to be ranked <br />From the desire to be sought after for advice, <br />From the desire to be commended, <br />From the desire to be famous, <br />From the fear of being disdained, <br />From the fear of being disparaged <br />From the fear of being denounced <br />From the fear of being repellent <br />From the fear of being forgotten <br />From fear of collapsing under dishonesties. <br />From the fear of being mocked, <br />From the fear of being suspicioned! <br />Amen.<br /><br />Masiela Lusha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-theresa-s-poezia/
