LADY FROM SPAIN Across the road down Glory Lane Past golden fields of wheat and corn Lived a lovely lady from Spain She tended crops since she was born She often drew the people's scorn She returned it w ith great disdain She prayed they would hear Gabriel's horn And in their grave they would be lain For the contest sponsored by Charles Messina 27 January 2020

I really like this simple look at a lady who is simply trying to live her life and yet is scorned. Too bad she could not just have risen above it all and say back to them. "god bless you" I hear if we bless our enemies, we will have blessings returned. Gotta try that more. haha

Funny how you phrased your response. That picture is a replica of Ruth in Scripture who was married to Boaz. Boaz was in the lineage of Christ. Blessing our enemy does grant us blessings. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Sounds like she had a hard life and was bullied making her feel angry enough to want revenge. Esto es la vida! This is life! Very good Curtis! xxoo

Thanks, Gordon! I appreciate the poem, stuck on a change in vocabulary there at last. Don't know what kind of mark I may get, but I will gladly accept it unless it is an NA or HM. All is well with me right now and I pray they are with you too. I appreciate your friendship and your support.
