Her Name Mother Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

On average a woman by a few years does outlive a man
But the longest lived human life in time not a long span
Few people by seven decades do outlive their prime
And a century of years is not that long in time
I often ask myself what is living about
On the existence of a life after death i am one who does doubt
So many believe in their unseen god in the sky
But my god to me she is living nearby
Everywhere i turn to look the beauty she creates i do see
In her wildflowers and her blossoms on every fruit bearing tree
The food we do live on for us she does grow
Her name is Mother Nature the only god of which i do know
The beauty she creates i do see every day
And in her earthy bosom my remains will lay.
