Her condo adjoins the back of mine but
I hadn't met her yet, and I didn't want to
Drop by empty handed.
I baked a batch of pumpkin bread and
Took a warm loaf to her door along with an
Index card with my name and phone number
Printed on it.
The woman was gracious and welcomed
Me inside.
She's a younger version of a grandma and
Lives by herself.
She moved to Ohio to be near her grandkids.
As we chatted I dropped a hint or two that
I was a woman of faith, but she didn't
Seem to notice.
I held back at our first visit.
In time she'll discover that she shares a wall
With a Jesus fanatic.
