The more I learn of Nature the less about her I know I know <br />What causes the sea currents and what causes plants to grow <br />What causes the pink or white blossoms in Spring to grow on the fruit bearing tree? <br />So magical is Nature or so 'twould seem to me. <br /> <br />The great beauty of Nature we do not pay to see <br />The landscapes, lakes and waterways the vastness of the sea <br />In comparison to Nature human achievements small <br />And she outlives all of her life forms the greatest one of all. <br /> <br />To the one known as Earth Mother respect we do not pay <br />Yet she lives on forever and we grow old and gray <br />Those who talk of human immortals believe in their own lie <br />There is one immortal Nature and she will never die. <br /> <br />My wonderment of Nature grows with every passing day <br />The beauty in the bird song in the wood across the way <br />The Goddess of the Ocean and the Goddess of the Land <br />And that we take her for granted is something I do not understand<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-wonderment-of-nature/
