Ducks walking in the park
watching the people by day
dropping crackers on the path
as they go on their way
The ducks are happy
visiting this park
there is plenty of water
a place to nest after dark
They cringe at the sight
of the litter that people leave
taking away the beauty
damage to nature is believed
Our souls are renewed
when we take care of the land
picking up litter
giving the ducks a hand
The park is now clean
ducks swim and wonder
will care for the park continue
is something to ponder
God gave parks to us
a refuge that is beautiful indeed
keeping nature free of litter
is our choice to succeed

Piper's Adventures 
Aw…they’re lovely ducks 🙂 I hope more people like you also want to care about the land and the environment…so important.
Thank you for your kind words. Our land and environment are gifts that need to be taken care of. Thanks for reading.
I think “Caring for others” is your motto, and you sure are a thinker. But hold on those Red Bulls(pun intended) otherwise you will outpace us all in the writing department.. Take Care..
Thank you. Thanks for reading.
Better ducks in the park and pucks in the dark, as Shakespeare said during a rehearsal of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I agree. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for reading.
Lovely poem and lovely sentiment. I think many don’t know what they can do to help or even believe their contribution will make little impact. I’m reminded of the story about the boy and the starfish, and though his efforts were not enough to save all the starfish littering the beach he said, “I made a difference to that one.” Small actions can have powerful effects, and your poem is a timely reminder for us all to do our part. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words. I agree. Thanks for reading.
Piper, I know its not right to ask but have you by any chance disable the Comments Section in your Latest posts.. They have just magically disappeared for me..
