To Our Marvellous Earth Mother Poem by Francis Duggan

With the wonders of Nature There's none to compare
And all life forms in Nature some things in common do share
And in Nature the genes of the fittest and strongest destined to live on
When they themselves to the ways of time have gone.

I've always loved Nature since I was a boy
And learning about her I still do enjoy
Though many of her secrets from us hidden away
Of her we do learn something new every day.

She supplies us with air and water and our food for us grow
To our marvellous Earth Mother our existence we owe
To us she is much more than a very good friend
For our lease of life on her we do depend.

Her powers of creation one can't help but admire
And of singing her praises could one ever tire
I live in awe of the wonders she create
And these simple verses to her I dedicate.
