Doris

D~aring in spirit and bold in mind, accomplishing for others before your own self. O~rigin as the Stalwart for offspring to follow, showed how to fall along life's path and get up again. Many admired how this "quiet" lady adapted and fit into the U.S. Way of life. Sent for children and grandchildren too, who today followed in your prints. R~deemed of the Lord, baptized in his name, God's name is Hallowed for you and for all. Went shopping that Saturday for a dress for the Pastor's Appreciation Day. Collected your own med's from the Pharmacy on Monday, on Tuesday October 14 worked too hard, in the basement! Rushed to the Hospital, Stroke you're a great Mess, now it looks that you're a waste of time! I~nitiator of new beginnings time and again, showing that God is always with us. S~erved in Society at home and abroad, persons would say "that's a good person there." Now at your weakest, for strength Ebbed away, is your name now Age/Aging, to sum up your life? What an Excuse Society sometimes makes, when being stingy in giving back what it readily took!

Room to expand from the simple lines of an acrostic helps enrich your words and gives them freedom to express much more that is afforded by the regular acrostic. Very nice use of creativity Rainbow! Bravo!

Thank you Connie for your kind words. This person is my mon. Glad you liked the creativity. Just came across this video of someone in their 80s who suffered the same fate, and had so much faith that she recovered to play the piano again! https://youtu.be/jmJnLIWs0vE
