Health And Wealth Poem by Tracey Pierce

Place write poem theme

This poem was written by Henry Winn in 1913, when he was 97 years old. The correct text is: We squander wealth in search of wealth, We scheme, we toil, we save, Then squander wealth in search of health, And find at last a grave. We live and call the things our own We die and only have a stone. We die and only have a stone, The very poor I sadly own Have but a grave with grass o'er grown As their memorial, not a stone
