Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden:

Lasting treasures are the kind money can't by.
My poem today is taken from Matthew 6:19-20
"Do not store for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and thieves break
through and steal."

THE THINGS I TREASURE
Father, you ask us not to lay up treasures
In this earthly land,
But I think the things I treasure,
Are the things you understand.

I treasure little children,
And the smile upon their face.
I treasure special loved ones,
And their fond embrace.

I treasure a lovely sunset
On a sea of blue,
I treasure every sunrise,
For the day is completely new.

I treasure older people,
And the example they have been,
And all the treasured moments,
Spent with a special friend.

I treasure sight, to see the beauty
Of this lovely land.
I treasure sound, to hear the music,
Of a lively marching band.

I treasure laughter,
for it lifts the burden of the day.
I treasure special memories,
That have come my way.

I treasure springtime showers
You send from up above,
I treasure your Son, Father,
For His unselfish love.

These are the things I treasure,
And I hold them up for You to view,
For I think the things I treasure,
Are the ones You treasure too.
