If There Is Such A World Poem by Francis Duggan

'Tis said life doesn't exist on the moon or on mars
But is there a planet somewhere in the stars
Where people drive around in big motor cars
And where they have their sing songs and music in their local bars?

One only can wonder in a planet up there
If birds sing and whistle in the morning air
A World that is home to another human race
Where people of Earth would not feel out of place?

If there is such a World can anyone tell
Though that seems more realistic than the existence of a heaven or hell
Where people are born and grow old and die
One might say mere mortals just like you and i.

It is something i often have wondered about
Though scientists perhaps they will never find out
Of the existence of a World somewhere in the sky
Where people and animals live and where birds sing and fly

Above fields and through woodlands and along by the hedgerow
The stream from the mountain to the river flow
And the gulls call all day o'er the cliffs by the sea
Another World like our World there may even be.
