A Real Saint

A real saint is one who befriends
Those tormented by sorrow and suffering,
And he is the one in whom the Lord lives.
A saint’s heart is like butter, soft inside and out.
He holds close to his heart those with no other support
And is as merciful and kind to his servants
As to his own children.
How can I adequately describe such a One,
Who is the very image of the Lord himself, says Tuka.
