Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
This is me with my dad at some dinner. Sometimes I eat more than plan to eat
and feel like the poem below.

I DO WHAT I DO NOT WANT TO DO.

I do what I do not want to do
Lord, I often fail you.
I do what I do not want to do
They're not the things I want to pursue.

I do what I do not want to do
I want my actions to follow my words.
I do what I do not want to do
My behavior flies away with the birds.

I do what I do not want to do
When I'm put to the test.
I do what I do not want to do
I'm never, it seems, at my best.

I do what I do not want to do
God, please help me today.
I do what I do not want to do
Send Your mercy and grace my way!
