My Dear Mother Nature

I've loved you since I was a boy in a Land far away And I love you as much as I did then today And though little about you I can claim to know My wonder of you only does seem to grow Like your Seasons to life our kind do come and go And our very existence to you we do owe Most of your great trees by humans with chainsaws cut down As men add to the size of every city and town They dig up your ground for the riches you hold And steal from you your oil, diamonds, opals, silver, gems and gold We never pay you the respect you are due If we do not respect you to ourselves we cannot be true My dear Mother Nature of singing your praises I never could tire And your unrivalled beauty I can only admire.
