#freewriting - #An-ode-to...

She is religious but...
She does not like the church leaders. After a long life she can only admit church has nothing to do with the father, the son nor the holy ghost. God's "ground staff" can not be trust, they have their own way of preaching what is right or wrong. Most likely they never got through the application process if God himself had kept it.

She had to fight hard in her life
She survived, learned to live with a disease most people never heard of...
she managed, because she had to.
She took care of her children, her grandchildren. Was the free teacher, animator and so much more.

She lost a lot, but never faith
She was a lady, but no longer a church lady. She gave a hand as long as she could.
As a young man broke into her house, she was able to take care of herself and her sister. The fact she could hardly walk and had a high age was no reason for her not to fight back.

She was colourful, wise and strong.
Optimistic as she was she did not give up or give in. She never harmed anyone and her prayers came straight out of her heart.
She was how all Christians should be, full of life, happiness, faith, since who truly believes does not feel the need to fight, scold, kill, steal, look down upon other people or different opinions or believes.

This is my entry at the #daily #5-minute-freewrite with the prompt church lady. If you like to join too have a look.at @mariannewest and the @freewritehouse.
