Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!

OLD BARNS-OLD PEOPLE
Old barns are like old people
They grow mellow with age
And they hold a lot of memories
You can read on each page.

With weathered boards
That turn a whitened gray,
Like old people, weathered storms,
That brought them to this day!

The old barns may be missing
A single or may be two,
But they're still standing,
Just like me and you.

Old barns offer protection,
From the storms that rage outside,
Just like old people,
Who will with you abide.

And never think them as useless
Or that their time has past,
For just like old people,
They were built to last!
