Were I born with the gift of poesy I'd write of the beauty I see <br />The unrivalled beauty of Nature that is everywhere around me <br />I'd pen my songs to Mother Nature I've loved her since I was a boy <br />From her people are always learning and lessons from her I enjoy, <br />I belong to the Goddess of Nature and she is the one I adore <br />Each day my love for her grows greater I love her now as never before <br />I feel humans belong to Nature and to her we'll return one day <br />In the coolness of her dark earthy bosom our remains are destined to lay <br />So many have great love for Nature and they love her far more than I <br />They fight to save her trees from deevelopers and they will fight for her until the day that they die <br />To them she is the one true Goddess yet people like her Seasons come and go <br />But she is the one who lives forever and her rivers to her oceans flow <br />were I born with the gift of poesy of Nature I surely would write <br />her sights and sounds and the scents of her perfume to the senses a source of delight.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/were-i-born-with/
