In A Hundred Years Poem by Francis Duggan

In a hundred years from now to me it will not matter
Since I'll be part of Nature's earth and clay
And life without me will go on as usual
And the birds will sing at the dawning of the day.

Yes life goes on forever and forever
Though due to climate change humans may be more rare
And Mother Earth will look healthy and vibrant
And in the Spring wildflowers will be blooming everywhere.

In a hundred years from now it will not matter
To me if i am a forgotten name
It will not matter then i will be one with Nature
If i went through life as a battler without fame.

In a hundred years from now life will go on as usual
And butterflies will dance in the sun and breeze
And around the flowering trees in the Parklands and the gardens
The buzzings of the nectar gathering bees.
