HERE'S TO THE GREENERY
Here's to the greenery of heaven sent scenery
Devoid of Man's cold grey cement.
Here's to the fields and trees
Putting our minds at ease
Each in the way Nature meant.
Here's to the will of Man holding back when it can,
Knowing there's too much to lose;
Here's to those other days
Before the traffic haze
That comes with the cars in their queues.
Here's to our children's hours spent in a field of flowers,
Free from the bulldozer's jaw;
Here's to a human sense
Telling us that pounds and pence
Can mean less in our lives and not more!

Once lost there are certain things that can rarely be recovered.
