Hi, Welcome to my Home Page. My name is Frances (Fran, I prefer). I am a Southern born and bred Lady.

          You may perhaps think it odd that I have Titled my Page "Desert Rose".             

To make a long story short, I once made a trip to the Great West and as they say, once you get that Desert Sand in your shoes, you will never leave.

            Sadly, after many years there I did have to leave. Yes, I brought some sand back in my shoes, but most important, I brought the Whole Desert back in my Heart. Hence you will read a lot of my love of it and God in some of my Poems.

               I write from the heart with deep emotions and memories of my long journey through Life on God's wonderful earth. I hope you will receive a Blessing as you read some of them. I would be honored if you signed my Guest Book.
