An Abandoned Quest

Today I hear a clear sound coming forth A scraping of shovels digging my grave I abandon my quest to save this Earth - One tear falls - it was never mine to save Taken From: A Scraping of Shovels 2-27-19 Contest: A Scraping of Shovels Sponsor: John Lawless

Thank goodness some people think it's their responsibility to save the world. Sure it's a battle they can't win but what a worthy cause and of course they always succeed to make this world a better place. Lovely tribute to everyone out there who wants to leave this world a better place. Bravo, Larry.
