We Learn From Nature

In life many lessons as some like to say
And of Nature we learn new things every day
The magpies with their feathers fluffed in the morning sun lay
For to take in the sunshine this is their way
There is more to a bird than the song it does sing
Perhaps for them to lay in the sunshine as we do is a natural thing
Yet of Nature's ways little i can claim to know
Though my wonderment of her it only does grow
As W H Davies the poet wrote we do not have time to stare
And of the natural beauty around us few of us aware
And what applies to many too does apply to me
Most of the natural beauty around me i overlook or fail to see
The great beauty we are too busy to look at to our doorsteps near
Though we learn from Nature every day of the year.
