We Never Poem by Francis Duggan

We never stop learning as some like to say
And of Nature i learn something new every day
And the more i learn of Nature the more my wonder of her does grow
Yet so little of her ways i can claim for to know
There is more intelligence than we realize in a bird's tiny brain
The migratory cattle egrets are back in the Moyne Shire again
Close to the grazing cattle they do like to stay
To devour any tiny critters disturbed by the big hooves to crawl, hop or fly their way
The egrets are allies of the farmers of them one can say
In helping to rid the paddocks of harmful insects their part they do play
To stand close to grazing animals a way of finding food over the decades the egrets have come to realize
That birds and animals like us too learn from Nature is not a surprise
Yes of Nature we learn something new every day
We never stop learning it does seem this way.
