Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden:

Today's poem is listed in a devotional I put together
as "Regrets." Our relationships are very fleeting and
we need to visit, phone write and tell those we love
what they mean to us.

GIVE ME FLOWERS TODAY.
Give me flowers while I'm living.
My grandma used to say,
Please do not wait....
To send a funeral bouquet.

Tell me that you love me,
I want to hear it today,
Do not wait to say it
On a funeral bouquet.

Please come for a visit,
Do not wait till I can't hear,
I want a visit...
When I know you are near.

It you are thinking of me,
Write and tell me today,
Do not say, "I'm thinking of you,"
On a funeral bouquet.
