She lives down by the river in a house nicer than most.

concrete on the riverbed.
Maria's smile is kind.
Her faith not dependent on circumstances.
Despite the harsh reality of her life,
despite the fear of possibly losing her sight.
on this afternoon with us,
she was a joyful hostess.
We all sat on the three beds that fill her home.
Her kids smiled wide while we noticed the sparseness
of their home. Though we saw no stored food
for themselves, she sent for a 2 liter of Coke and some
spicy ships to share with her guests.

Her faith is deep,
which makes her home, her family peaceful.

This woman is a beauty.
