There Is More To Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

There is more to Nature than the birds and the bees
Or the rivers the oceans the flowers and the trees
Or the grass, the shrubs and the creatures we do see every day
She is our lifelong teacher it does seem that way
So little of Nature's ways i can claim to know
Yet my wonder of her only does seem to grow
I've been in love with her since i was a boy
And my walks in her quiet places i do enjoy
Her wonders are many her secrets not few
And from her every day we do learn something new
For our very survival on her we depend
And than her we do not have a greater friend
Yet we take and take from her and in return to her little give
And from her we do learn for as long as we live.
