Than Our Earth Mother Poem by Francis Duggan

Her wonders are many and her secrets not few
Yet every day of her we learn something new
For our very survival on her we depend
Than our Earth Mother we do not have a greater friend
The one who supports us for as long as we live
Yet we take and take from her and in return to her little give
That we do not respect her is a sad thing to say
Men dig up her ground for her treasures every day
Yet for our abuse of her for us there will be a price to pay
For what goes around comes around life is this way
To every life form in the World a true friend indeed
Since like us for their survival her they do need
Though unlike us for her there will never be a last night and day
And in her earthy bosom our last remains will lay.
