That Much About Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

A tiny dark seed to a tall tree can grow
That much about Nature I can claim to know
Her secrets from us she keeps hidden away
Though from her we do learn something new every day.

The beauty of Nature for all to enjoy
And her I have loved since I was a young boy
And for as long as the breath of life in me remain
The love that I feel for her I will retain.

The longest human life in time not a lengthy span
And in ten years from now I will be an old man
But long after the last memory of my existence from memory has gone
Life which is part of Nature in the World will go on.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the Fall
But of Nature's ways I do know little at all
Her treasures are many her secrets not few
And each day from her we do learn something new
