I Have Loved Mother Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

I've loved Mother Nature since I was a boy
And learning about her is a thing I enjoy
Yet the more one learn of her the more one realize
That there is more to her than does meet the eyes
And every day of her we do learn something new
And her wonders are many and her secrets not few
The one true immortal I see her that way
And of her we learn something new every day
In Spring her wild birds sing on bush and on tree
And in her hosts of multicoloured flowers her great beauty I see
My wonder of her only does seem to grow
Yet little so little of her ways I do know
Like all of her life forms I will return to her one day
And in her earthy bosom my remains will lay.
