Freda's Garden

  Welcome to Freda's Garden:
I love living in Southern California.
The grass and trees are green all year
And the roses bloom year-around.
I pruned our roses about a month ago,
but one hardy yellow one is blooming again.
I picked one this morning and its setting in a
bud vase on my cluttered desk. It reminds me
of the following poem.

A Rose
A rose in early spring
 is beautiful to see.
One life in Jesus Christ
 is far more beautiful to me.

Autumn's regal dress
 in splendor reigns supreme.
One life...
 is far more glorious to our Blessed King.

All the treasures of this earth,
 gems and jewels so rare,
Can never mean so much to Him
 as one lone soul to care.
