How Are You Today

I have sung your praises in many a rhyme But to when I first loved you I must go back in time Perhaps to the nineteen fifties when I was a boy The songs of your birds to me a thing of joy. The fields were resplendent in their flowers of the May And the hawthorns were cloaked in their blooms of light gray Wild bluebells bloomed on the ditch of the bohreen I still can recall the great beauty I've seen When I was a young boy from here far away Such good memories with me perhaps 'til death will stay In fancy I walk in the old fields again And my great love of Nature with me does remain. The Gods most others believe in seem hidden from me But wherever I turn to your beauty I see I love you today as I did years ago Yet so little of your ways I do seem to know. Those who do dismiss you must live with a lie As for me I will love you 'til the day I die The sun out and shining gulls sing by the bay My Goddess of Nature how are you today.
