Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
This is my mother, a past Mother's Day, holding a Mother's Day flower.
Ironically, she died on Mother's Day, just a couple of months before her
81st birthday. She certainly was a "wounded survivor," she was in pain
for more than 30 years. Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers.

WONDED SURVIVOR
Wounded survivor
In this world of sin,
Those who have suffered
With pain from within.

Wounded survivor
Of words that hurt still,
Flung out before them,
So helpless they feel.

Wounded survivor,
Of traumatic illness, like cancer
Looking for healing
And the right answer.

Wounded survivor
Of betrayal and loss,
Feeling the pain
That living has cost.

A wounded survivor,
Our Savior, was He,
When He went to the cross,
For you and for me
