I know she will be there forever the one older than father time <br />The one who has inspired the artists and inspired the writers to song, story and rhyme <br />Old in the age of the dinosaurs and that was a long time ago <br />How old is she that's a good question that is not for humans to know. <br /> <br />Our life span can be measured in minutes in real time a century not long <br />We are mere mortals like other life forms and though some may see such thinking as wrong <br />I am only saying what I believe in we all look at life differently <br />Only Nature herself is immortal humans are born to mortality. <br /> <br />Mother Nature will live on forever her Seasons to her come and go <br />We depend on her for our existence the food that we eat she does grow <br />And yet we do not pay her the respect the respect that from us she is due <br />If we are not true to our Earth Mother to our own selves we cannot be true. <br /> <br />The Seasons are catching up on me my best days in life are long gone <br />I soon must return to Nature my biological clock ticking on <br />But in every part of the World her presence is on every shore <br />The wonderful Goddess of Nature the one who will live forever more.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-she-will-be-there-forever/
