Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden.

THIS BODY 'S NOT ME

I look in the mirror
What do I see?
Gray hair and wrinkles
I think, "That is not me!"

I looked at some pictures
Of a young girl so bold
And I thought to myself
But my soul is not old.

My steps are a bit slower
Sometimes I can't see
This body is aging
But this body's not me.

So I told this old body
"Fail you may be!"
But it does not matter
This body's not me!
