A pleasant Autumn day of wind and sunshine <br />And yellow leaves depart their trees and fall <br />To Mother Earth who silently receives them <br />And wattlebirds on flowering gum trees call. <br /> <br />On this quiet side street of inner suburbia <br />The leaves are dying on the deciduous tree <br />But were i a poet I'd put my pen to paper <br />And write of the great beauty that i see. <br /> <br />For Nature's beauty can be found in strangest places <br />Far from the countryside it can be seen <br />Deciduous trees are golden brown in Autumn <br />And gums and wattles rich and evergreen. <br /> <br />And many urban people too love Mother Nature <br />And of workings of Nature there is much to know <br />They love to hear the birds sing in their gardens <br />And take pride in plants and trees they helped to grow <br /> <br />I respect those who respect Mother Nature <br />The damage done to her they try to mend <br />For Nature brings her beauty to all Seasons <br />And to every Nature lover I'm a friend. <br /> <br />In quiet side street in inner suburbia <br />Deciduous leaves to Mother Earth drift down <br />And wattlebirds are calling on the gum trees <br />And Mother Nature too lives in the town.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pleasant-autumn-day/
