We learn something new from living and from Nature every day <br />And you never do stop learning though the years have left you gray <br />So much to learn of flora flowers, weeds, grasses, shrubs and trees <br />And of insects that fly and crawl and of wasps and flies and bees <br />Of the mammals and birds and fish of the waterways and of the lakes and seas <br />That live in different environments of varying climate and degrees <br />The birds and animals of land so many species Worldwide <br />A different sort of beauty to be seen in every countryside <br />'Tis hard to disagree with those who say that the wise are only few <br />But every day on our life's journey we learn something new <br />The lessons learned from the elders of our young years we retain <br />They are embedded in our memories and through life with us remain <br />It has always been a fact of life and facts do never lie <br />That as long as memory serves us we learn until we die.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-learn-until-we-die/
