Of Nature

Though my wonderment of her never ceases to grow

So little of nature's ways i can claim of to know

Yet of her i do learn something new every day

She is a great teacher in truth one can say

The goddess of mother earth she lives worldwide

But even from those who know most about her some secrets she hide

The one who has in her the unrivalled magical power

From a tiny seed she helps earth to create a beautiful flower

I first grew to love her as a young country boy

And learning about her today i enjoy

Her wonders are many and her lessons not few

And every day of her we learn something new

To many joy she never fails for to bring

And her fans worldwide her praises always sing

A wonderful teacher with ways of her own

And so much about her remains to be known.
