Not For Mother Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

My wonder of her only does seem to grow
And so little about her i can claim to know
Yet from her I learn something new every day
We never stop learning as some like to say
The one known as Nature lives on every shore
And unlike all of her life forms she will live forever more
I have been her student since i was a boy
And learning from her i will always enjoy
We who claim ownership of land in some ways have it wrong
Since the land we lay claim to in reality to her does belong
Without her in the World we could not hope to live
But we take and take from her and in return to her little give
For each one of us there is a final Fall
But not for Mother Nature the Mother of all.
