Thousands of miles' flight
leaving behind inhospitable terrain
for life and warm sunlight
the migrants are back again!
None can to this day
with any certainty say
how they don't ever stray
navigate perfectly the long way!
Never in their path they are lost
as they fly from the land of frost
in rhythmic unison like a rhyme
intent to reach the warmer clime!
My place is where they come
they find here warmth and welcome
winter guests for some time's restful peace
come summer them we will sorely miss!

Thousands of miles' flight
leaving behind inhospitable terrain
for life and warm sunlight
the migrants are back again!
None can to this day
with any certainty say
how they don't ever stray
navigate perfectly the long way!
Never in their path they are lost
as they fly from the land of frost
in rhythmic unison like a rhyme
intent to reach the warmer clime!
My place is where they come
they find here warmth and welcome
winter guests for some time's restful peace
come summer them we will sorely miss!
