We Learn Until We Die

We learn something new from living and from Nature every day And you never do stop learning though the years have left you gray So much to learn of flora flowers, weeds, grasses, shrubs and trees And of insects that fly and crawl and of wasps and flies and bees Of the mammals and birds and fish of the waterways and of the lakes and seas That live in different environments of varying climate and degrees The birds and animals of land so many species Worldwide A different sort of beauty to be seen in every countryside 'Tis hard to disagree with those who say that the wise are only few But every day on our life's journey we learn something new The lessons learned from the elders of our young years we retain They are embedded in our memories and through life with us remain It has always been a fact of life and facts do never lie That as long as memory serves us we learn until we die.
