Memories Are All

Memories are all i have left to retain
Of faces and places i may not see again
Time does not wait on anyone it ticks on and on
At the stroke of midnight today will have gone

My love of Nature began for to grow
In the old rushy fields where Finnow waters flow
But going back the Seasons this now seems long ago
And since time that ages all life forms has become my foe

In this place of marsupials koalas and wallabies and grey kangaroos
And birds such as emus, long billed corellas and yellow tailed black cockatoos
And other species of animals and birds far too numerous to name
Of this Southern Land it's flora and fauna among it's claims to Worldwide fame

On looking back the years time has gone so fast
And all i have left are memories of the past
And of life and Nature we learn every day
We learn as we live it is alwaays this way.
