She fed the wild birds in the park every day <br />The one who loved Nature with Nature now lay <br />She knew every wild creature by it's call or it's song <br />To the Lovers Of Nature Group she did belong. <br /> <br />She was never a mother or to any man never a wife <br />And to Nature 'twould seem she devoted her life <br />For all of Nature's creatures she had empathy <br />And she was anti natural habitat destruction and anti cruelty. <br /> <br />She fought for the right to life of every bush and tree <br />Nature never did have many friends good as she <br />In her early eighties in her sleep she died <br />Her value as a person cannot be denied. <br /> <br />From anti development protests her's is a missed face <br />And as a friend of Nature none to take her place <br />'Twould seem from life she had a painless release <br />And the one who loved Nature may she rest in peace.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-who-loved-nature/
