It’s a scientific fact

dinosaurs sported feathers first

evolving into birds of flight

that grace our skies today

And science proclaims thousands

of different species

every color shape and size

flying over mountaintops and oceans

riding winds of change

I may not be religious

but it’s surely more than science

that pulls each bird back toward home

after traveling the world

It’s surely more than science

that compels those swallows

to return

with precision every year

on the feast day of St Joseph,

patron saint of immigrants,

defender of the poor

There’s a secret waiting in each egg

that hatches into being

an age-old hidden mystery

or maybe it’s divine –

the scientific secret code

directing every heart that beats

Forever, throughout time
