Dereth welcomes you to Wisteria Cottage

Friendship's Journey

Friendship is
a chain of gold
shaped in God's
most perfect mold.

Each link a smile,
a laugh,
a tear,
A touch of the hand,
A word of cheer.

Steadfast as
the ages roll,
Binding closer
soul to soul,

No matter how far
or heavy the load,
Sweet is the journey
On friendship's road!

Thank You For Being
MY FRIEND!

Dereth's Wisteria Cottage of dreams:

The lilt of a song
and the thrill of a laugh
Are better than moping and tears;
This old world
is glad for the heart
That will give
The smile that its darkness cheers.

My Friend:

A friendly gift I bear to thee
Of little worth I know,
But in each flow'r
thine eyes will see
Afriend of long ago.

From a Hallmark Heirloom Classic
card of years ago.

Dereth's Garden:

Come walk with me in my garden.
You will find wisteria and lilacs
and a pink magnolia. The irises, tulips,
hyacinths and daffodils.
Then the antique roses.
It seems each new stroll
in the garden brings a new
surprise of beauty just for our eyes.
