Listen to poem:

A Simple Saving

In tribute to my friend Vera Duggan
In answer to a reply she made
to a comment I made about her 
Garden poem. God Bless....

A Simple Saving

You think you're to old for gardening
But, there are things you still  can do
As old as you may think you are 
Your spirit knows what's true

But, if you could,  save one flower
It might just save one bee
And as he gathers pollen 
That could save, a  tree

Then that tree could make the air
That we all need to breathe 
So, by saving one small flower
You could save the world, you see

You think you're to old for gardening
So let me help you stand
 Let's save the world today
The power is in our hands

Yes, but I'm afraid you will need to save more than one flower
