The Only Immortal Is Nature

The only immortal is Nature she lives whilst all others must die The monarch, the president and celebrity in truth are as mortal as I But Nature she lives on forever in centuries and centuries from now The birds will sing in wood and hedgerow and the wind in the tall trees will sough Us humans are like Nature's Seasons we come to life and then we go Into the nothingness of nothing though some they do profess to know Of a paradise for God fearing people countless miles from this Earthly shore Where good souls will all be united in joy and peace forever more But I only believe in Nature though to her I never do pray The one who outlives every life form in her earthy bosom I too must lay Our marvellous Earth Mother who feeds us her beauty for all to enjoy Her wonders never cease to amaze me I have loved her since I was a boy The only immortal I know of and the one who takes care of us all And I too to the scythe of her reaper eventually destined to fall.
