'Down Mexico Way' Poem by Linda Winchell

Invited out to share the night
with some ladies from my church.
The theme of the dinner was down Mexico way
people all dressed with sombreros, ponchos and skirts.

The food and conversation was the best
I was happy to have been one of their invited guest.
The speaker shared her testimony of hope
and displayed her painting on an easel as she spoke.

Tables were set up displaying what money they'd bring
silently auctioning treaures, of a variety of things.

I shared a story and the ladies shared theirs
then were all given fairwell blessing and dismissed from our table and chairs.
Taking away much more than in we had come.
Was the good news of God and Hope in Jesus the Son.
