one woman's quest to save the earth.

trash
One man’s trash is another’s treasure
that’s how the saying goes.
that’s why I seem to take such pleasure
in saving what others throw
replacing a knob, a coat of paint,
or maybe a little glue
is all it takes most of the time
to make it seem brand new
Waste not want not was the phrase
that my mother believed.
For me it’s a way to give thanks to the earth
for the bounty that I have received.
