Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by lissa and can be found here

This week's words/prompts are:

1.kerplunk  2.erase  3.meek  4.plead  5.tenacious

Here is my story:

During a rainy spell a few days later, Josef, William and David were sitting by a warm fire at the retirement village and reminiscing of days long gone. Each held a mug of hot chocolate to warm their hands as they sipped, with their musings occasionally interrupted by the kerplunk of fat raindrops hitting the base of the drainage pipe.

Josef took a deep breath before saying; “the World keeps trying to do the right thing but they get so much wrong trying to erase the bad parts of history as if they never existed. These parts need to be remembered so that solutions to the original problems can be found.”

David said, “the Bible tells us the meek shall inherit the Earth, but what kind of inheritance will that be when the bullies have beaten everyone into submission? The meek need to stand against them.”

“I remember my mother,” said William, “she was quite meek about a lot of things, but when it came to pleading for help and resources for the poor in the community, she became quite tenacious.”
