Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
This is part of my cactus garden. Cactus  are very
common looking until they bloom. I would call
this... "Uncommon beauty in common places."

UNCOMMON BEAUTY IN COMMON PLACES
Uncommon beauty in common places,
A tender plant, growing out of a fire's ash,
A lonely wild flower...
In a mining-hole gash.

Uncommon beauty in common places,
A black-eyed susan in a cement crack,
A homeless child...
Carrying his pack.

Uncommon beauty in common places
An abandoned kitty on a dirty street,
Looking for a home...
And a much needed treat.

Uncommon beauty in common places,
A King on a criminals' cross
Dying for a world....
That's so very lost!
